Half of the subjects(49.6%) had dinners with their family members while talking on topics concerned with their family(p< .001). The people take a meal for 3 times a day(66.7%, p< .001). The subjects answered that they eat out 1 or 2 times a month and the ratio of eating-out was higher in young people compared to their parents(p< .001).
