Fewer than 10% of the students recognized the term "linoleic acid" in JH Sch.<BR>2) Students who recognized that cholesterol is a risk factor for CD, were about 44% of both boys and girls in grade 4 of E Sch. But, in grades 5-6 of E Sch, the recognition of the same problem was 4-7% higher for male students than for female students. However, in grade 3 of JH Sch, a large disparity was shown male (55.4%) and female (82.8%) students who recognized that cholesterol is a risk factor for CD. The results of questions on dietary fiber were considered to have the same tendency as those for cholesterol, from grade 3 of E Sch to grade 3 of JH Sch.<BR>3) It was shown that self-efficacy promoted healthy eating habits.
