Abstract
The aim of thisThis study isaims to evaluate the nutritional attitudes and behaviorsbehaviours of 6-8 years -year-old children. A total of 347 students, 183 boys and 164 girls, aged 6-8, participated in the study. Data were collected by applying a survey form, including the Nutrition Attitude Scale and the Nutrition Behavior Scale, which questioned the demographic characteristics of the children, by the researcher. The children's Nutrition Attitude Scale mean score was 13.83±2.03, and their Nutrition Behavior Scale score was 2.57±4.53. A weak correlation was found between the children's nutritional attitude scores and their eating behaviorbehaviour scores (r=0.212, p<0.001). As a result of the study, it was seen that the healthy eating habits of the children participating in the study were at a moderate level. The results of this study show the need for interventions for children to have and maintain positive nutritional attitudes and behaviorsbehaviours.
