目的：在日本儿童中，留有一部分食物没有吃，被称为盘子浪费，是一个严重的问题。虽然孩子们对自己能完全吃完饭的信心与盘子浪费有关，但影响这种信心的情况尚不清楚。本研究探讨的情况下，低自我效能完成他们的用餐发生在小学儿童在东京，日本。设计：使用横断面自我报告问卷调查，于2009年12月进行。该问卷包括项目板浪费行为，自我效能感完全完成餐在特定的情况下，性别，身高和weight.Methods：共2659日本5（第）年级学生完成了问卷。以浪费餐盘行为项目、未吃完组和吃完组为因变量，以自我效能项目为自变量，进行单因素和多因素Logistic回归分析。（男孩：比值比（OR）= 3.94; 95%置信区间（CI）= 2.83，5.49;女孩：OR = 2.68; 95% CI = 2.03，3.54），当提供不喜欢的食物时，（男孩：OR = 3.74; 95% CI = 2.77，5.04;女孩：OR = 2.89; 95% CI = 2.21，3.76），（男孩：OR = 1.57; 95% CI = 1.16，2.14;女孩：OR = 1.49; 95% CI = 1.13，1.97）。低自我效能时，一顿饭是不美味的“（OR = 1.79; 95%CI = 1.32，2.43）是一个预测板浪费只有在boys.Conclusions：结果表明，在日本，环境改善和营养教育与儿童的板浪费。
Objective: Leaving a portion of meals uneaten, known as plate waste, is a serious problem among children in Japan. Although children's confidence that they can completely finish meals is related to plate waste, the circumstances that influence this confidence are not known. This study examined situations in which low self-efficacy for finishing their meal occurs among elementary school children in Tokyo, Japan.Design: A survey using a cross-sectional self-reporting questionnaire was conducted in December 2009. This questionnaire included items about plate waste behaviour, self-efficacy for completely finishing meals in specific situations, sex, height and weight.Methods: A total of 2659 Japanese 5(th)-grade students completed the questionnaire. Univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed with the plate waste behaviour item, the not-completely-eaten group and the completely-eaten group as dependent variables, and with the self-efficacy items as independent variables.Results: Significant correlations were found between plate waste and low self-efficacy for completely finishing meals when portion size is too large' (boys: Odds ratio (OR) = 3.94; 95% Confidence interval (CI) = 2.83, 5.49 and girls: OR = 2.68; 95% CI = 2.03, 3.54), when food one dislikes is served' (boys: OR = 3.74; 95% CI = 2.77, 5.04 and girls: OR = 2.89; 95% CI = 2.21, 3.76), and when the time allowed to eat is too short' (boys: OR = 1.57; 95% CI = 1.16, 2.14 and girls: OR = 1.49; 95% CI = 1.13, 1.97). Low self-efficacy when a meal is not delicious' (OR = 1.79; 95% CI = 1.32, 2.43) was a predictor of plate waste only among boys.Conclusions: The results suggest that in Japan environmental improvement and nutritional education are related to children's plate waste.
