在日本，开展了综合食品教育方案，目的是改善饮食习惯，从而减少与生活方式有关的疾病，包括龋齿的发病率。这项前瞻性队列研究的目的是调查日本大学生谁参加了shokuiku程序，而在初中/高中的shokuiku知识和龋齿的增加之间的关联。共有562名学生自愿接受为期三年的口腔检查，在此期间记录龋齿病例数。使用问卷调查收集有关shokuiku知识，饮食习惯和口腔健康行为的其他信息。在逻辑回归分析中，缺乏shokuiku知识的男性患龋齿的几率显著高于不了解的男性（比值比（OR），2.00; 95%置信区间（CI），1.12-3.58; p = 0.019）。另一方面，在女性中，经常饮用含糖软饮料的人患龋齿的几率显著高于不饮用含糖软饮料的人（OR，1.89; 95%CI，1.05-3.42; p = 0.035）。这些结果表明，没有关于shokuiku的知识与日本男性大学生龋齿的风险增加有关。
In Japan, comprehensive food education (shokuiku) programs are carried out with the aim of improving dietary practices and thereby reducing the incidence of lifestyle-related diseases, including dental caries. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the association between knowledge about shokuiku and the increase in dental caries among Japanese university students who had attended a shokuiku program while in junior/senior high school. A total of 562 students volunteered to undergo oral examinations over a three-year follow-up period, during which the number of cases of dental caries were recorded. Additional information was collected using a questionnaire survey regarding knowledge about shokuiku, dietary habits, and oral health behaviors. In logistic regression analysis, males who lacked knowledge about shokuiku had significantly higher odds for dental caries than those who did not (odds ratio (OR), 2.00; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.12-3.58; p = 0.019). On the other hand, among females, those who frequently consumed sugar-sweetened soft drinks had significantly higher odds for dental caries than those who did not (OR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.05-3.42; p = 0.035). These results suggest that having no knowledge about shokuiku is associated with a risk of increase in dental caries in Japanese male university students.
