This study was designed to survey the prevalence of problematic eating behaviors among dietetics students. The Eating Attitude Test (EAT) was distributed to college and university dietetics students and students of other majors in the Nagano city area. For dietetics freshmen, the survey was repeated again after an interval of 5 months. The incidence of disordered eating attitudes was significantly greater in the dietetics majors than in other students. The incidence was significantly higher in dietetics freshmen than in dietetics juniors and seniors. The five-month follow up study of the dietetics freshmen revealed some improvements in eating attitude, but the difference was notstatistically significant. These results imply that college and university students majoring in dietetics have greater problems associated with food than control students and that their eating attitudes improve as a result of exposure to dietetics education.
