BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to find out the level of knowledge on sugar-related nutrition among mothers with preschool children.
SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study conducted a survey on 350 mothers whose children attended daycare. The dietary lives of the children and the nutritional knowledge of the mothers on sugar were checked. In order to analyze results, SPSS 18.0 was used. ANOVA and t-test were also performed to analyze recognition and educational needs.
When the degree of nutritional knowledge was measured and analyzed, the results showed about 11 average points out of 15. The higher a group's nutritional knowledge, the better the dietary habits and activities were and the activities were more ccommon. The group with a low level of nutritional knowledge consumed more foods with high sugar content, but this difference was not statistically significant. Also the children from the group of mothers that provided nutritional education to their children were more likely to engage in better dietary habits and activities.
66.5% respondents did not know about policies to reduce sugar consumption, but most indicated that education on reducing sugar consumption is needed. Therefore, a government-driven search for efficient methods to campaign and publicize sugar reduction is needed in order to continuously provide appropriate education.
背景/目的：本研究旨在了解有学龄前儿童的母亲对糖类相关营养知识的掌握程度。
对象/方法：该研究对350名孩子在日托机构的母亲进行了调查。检查了孩子们的饮食生活以及母亲们对糖类的营养知识。为了分析结果，使用了SPSS 18.0。还进行了方差分析和t检验以分析认知情况和教育需求。
在对营养知识水平进行测量和分析时，结果显示平均得分为15分中的约11分。一个群体的营养知识水平越高，其饮食习惯和活动就越好且越普遍。营养知识水平低的群体摄入了更多高糖食物，但这种差异无统计学意义。此外，母亲为孩子提供营养教育的群体中的孩子更有可能养成更好的饮食习惯和活动习惯。
66.5%的受访者不知道减少糖类消费的政策，但大多数人表示需要进行减少糖类消费的教育。因此，需要政府推动寻找有效的方法来开展减少糖类消费的宣传活动，以便持续提供适当的教育。
