BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Recently, there has been an increased interest in the importance of family meals on children’shealth and nutrition. This study aims to examine if the eating habits and eating behaviors of children are different accordingto the frequency of family dinners. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The subjects were third-grade students from 70 elementary schools in 17 cities nationwide. A two-stagestratified cluster sampling was employed. The survey questionnaire was composed of items that examined the general characteristics,family meals, eating habits, eating behaviors, and environmental influence on children’s eating. The subjects responded toa self-reported questionnaire. Excluding the incomplete responses, the data (n = 3,435) were analyzed using χ2-test or t-test. RESULTS: The group that had more frequent family dinners (≥ 5 days/week, 63.4%), compared to those that had less (≤4 days/week, 36.6%), showed better eating habits, such as eating meals regularly, performing desirable behaviors during meals,having breakfast frequently, having breakfast with family members (P < 0.001), and not eating only what he or she likes (P< 0.05). Those who had more frequent family dinners also consumed healthy foods with more frequency, including proteinfoods, dairy products, grains, vegetables, seaweeds (P < 0.001), and fruits (P < 0.01). However, unhealthy eating behaviors (e.g.,eating fatty foods, salty foods, sweets, etc.) were not significantly different by the frequency of family dinners. CONCLUSIONS: Having dinner frequently with family members was associated with more desirable eating habits and withhealthy eating behaviors in young children. Thus nutrition education might be planned to promote family dinners, by emphasizingthe benefits of having family meals on children’s health and nutrition and making more opportunities for family meals.
