T
he typical Korean diet (Hansik) is a low-fat diet with abundant plant foods including a variety of vegetables and Korean
fermented cabbage (Kimchi), which has been known as a healthy diet that could reduce cardiovascular disease and improve
blood lipids level. Therefore, the aim of study was to develop the hansik education program to increase the hansik’s intake for
children and adolescents. To develop the hansik education program, we assessed needs for the program in school dietitians as
well as children and adolescents according to the education level. A total of 2,858 children and adolescents (elementary school
30.1%; middle school 34.8%; high school 35.1%) and were recruited in 2015 and 2016 in Gyunggi and Jeonbuk areas, South
Korea and questionnaires were conducted by self-administration. School dietitians (n=221; elementary school 38.9%; middle
school 34.4%; high school 26.7%) were participated in an online survey. There were significant differences in a nutritional
education experience relating to hansik and preference for the hansik education program composition by the education level
(p<0.001). Based on the needs of students and school dietians by the education level, hansik education program consisted
of three parts; understanding hansik diet-improved awareness of hansik and its components, healthy eating habits-balanced
food intake and proper serving sizes and hansik cooking classes. In conclusion, hansik education program was developed with
consideration of needs and differences among the education levels. Further studies are ongoing to evaluate the program’s effect
on the incerese of hansik consumption and the preventive effect on metabolic syndrome.
