Korean girls' degree of confidence in nutrition information thatthey had learned and their performance in their real lives were low. Also, they had a low level of awareness of the needfor nutritional education. There was no significant difference in life stress between the two groups. Dietary habits had a significantlynegative correlation with life stress in both Korean and Chinese girls (P < .01, P < .001). As for Chinese students, dietary attitudehad a negative correlation with life stress with a significant difference (P < .05). As for Korean girls, nutritional knowledge hada negative correlation with life stress with a significant difference (P < .05), which means as life stress was less, dietary habitswere better. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that effective nutrition education programs should include components that encourage applicationof learned nutrition information to real life, increase physical exercise and reduce life stress.
