目的-本文旨在研究专业工作经验对学习食品科学和营养学并获得营养师执照的参与者的生活方式和饮食习惯的影响。本文报道了食品科学系和营养系学生的饮食习惯。然而，没有研究比较了毕业生的饮食习惯与没有实际的临床经验。设计/方法/途径-总的来说，在1975年至1984年期间毕业于东京一所大学食品科学和营养系的206名参与者在2011年完成了关于食物和营养素摄入量和生活习惯的问卷调查。总脂肪和SFA摄入量调整的能量摄入量或频率的零食和快餐摄入量之间的参与者和没有经验的营养师不同，表明营养师的经验影响参与者的饮食习惯约30年毕业后。在营养学校学习期间获得的营养知识和技能可以有效地长期保持良好的行为。然而，营养知识和技能通过后来的专业经验得到了增强。原创性/价值-临床经验的精炼效果似乎有助于维持日常饮食习惯和健康。在公共卫生、营养或营养教育方面，专业经验不仅有助于个人预防与生活方式有关的疾病，也有助于其他人预防与生活方式有关的疾病。
Purpose - This paper aims to examine the effects of professional job experience on the lifestyle and dietary habits of participants who have studied food science and nutrition and acquired a dietitian license. The dietary habits of students of departments of food science and nutrition have been reported. However, no study has compared the dietary habits of graduates with and without actual clinical experience.Design/methodology/approach - In total, 206 participants who graduated from the department of food science and nutrition of a university located in Tokyo between 1975 and 1984 completed a questionnaire on food and nutrient intake and lifestyle habits in 2011.Findings - Total fat and SFA intake adjusted for energy intake or frequency of snack and fast food intake differed among participants with and without experience as dietitians, indicating that dietitian experience influenced the dietary habits of participants for approximately 30 years after graduation. Nutritional knowledge and skills acquired during attendance at a dietitian school are effective in maintaining favorable behavior for a long time. However, nutritional knowledge and skills were enhanced by later professional experience.Originality/value - The refining effect of clinical experience appears to contribute to the maintenance of daily dietary habits and health. Professional experience can contribute to the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases not only personally but also for other people in terms of public health nutrition or nutritional education.
