Abstract
1)ABSTRACTThis study examines the relationships between stress and eating habits of adolescents based on the assumption that adolescents require large amounts of nut rients and that eating habits affect their physical development, academic achievement, and em otional development. For this purpose, 213 adolescents in Gangwondo, Korea, were surveyed. Ma ny studies have reported that stress causes changes in eating habits and affects health status. Based on the dietary action guide scores according to stress categories, eating instant foo ds less was significant (p<0.001), eating fast foods less was significant (p<0.05), and have soft drinks less was significant (p<0.001). The results suggest the importance of balanced nutrition based on the formation of right dietary habits for adolescents. Good nutrition can be determined throug h right knowledge of nutrition and dietary habits, and right dietary habits can improve health and physical development as well as mental and emotional stability. The analysis did not co mpare other regions, and therefore any generalization of the results should be made with caution. However, the results offer important insights into stress among adolescents for their effective counseling.Key words: eating habits, stress, dietary action guide, adolescents
