Prevention of the onset and the increase in severity of lifestyle-related diseases extends healthy life spans. It is important to start educating younger generations on basic life knowledge, disease and health literacy. This class was offered in both private and public elementary (ES) and junior high schools (JHS) from 2015. A questionnaire (Q) survey was conducted before and after the class. The effects of education and future challenges were discussed. Qs were distributed to 727 students, consisting of 4th to 6th graders in 5 public ES and 3rd graders in JHS. The Qs were collected from 727 students before class and 715 students after class. 7submitted responses both before and after the class. A paired analysis was performed on these responses. Those who answered “I don’t eat breakfast” was less than 5% in both ES and JHS, while those who answered “sweet bread (including cakes) ” was about 30% in both ES and JHS. Those who were able to accurately list the three major nutrients carbohydrate, protein and fat, essential in larger amounts for growth and body’s basic function, improved from 5% (before class) to 71.2% (after class) in ES students and to 86.4% in JHS students. Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed no significant difference in improvement of the correct answers from pre- to post-class between 4th-grade students and 6th-grade students, nor between ES students and JHS. There were significant differences between different ES. Significantly more JHS than ES students (P<0.01) and more female than male students (P<0.01) answered that they had questions. There were many erroneous answers regarding calcium and vitamins. There were students even in the 3rd grade of JHS who lacked a proper understanding of the three major nutrients. They confused them with others. A better understanding of diseases and the three major nutrients can be gained from the 4th grade of ES by conducting classes related to the human body and diseases. Repeated health classes starting in ES may foster health literacy concerning lifestyle-related diseases. Disclosure S.Kaneko: None. K.Kamiya: None.

1487-PUB：培养年轻一代的健康素养

预防生活方式相关疾病的发病和加重其严重程度可延长健康寿命。开始对年轻一代进行基本生活知识、疾病和健康知识的教育非常重要。从 2015 年开始，该课程在私立和公立小学 (ES) 和初中 (JHS) 开设。在课前和课后进行了问卷 (Q) 调查。讨论了教育的影响和未来的挑战。Qs 分发给 727 名学生，包括 5 个公共 ES 的 4 至 6 年级学生和 JHS 的 3 年级学生。Qs 是从 727 名学生课前和 715 名学生课后收集的。7在课前和课后提交了回复。对这些反应进行了配对分析。回答“我不吃早餐”的人在 ES 和 JHS 中均低于 5%，而在 ES 和 JHS 中，回答“甜面包（包括蛋糕）”的人约占 30%。那些能够准确列出生长和身体基本功能所需的碳水化合物、蛋白质和脂肪三大营养素的人，在 ES 学生中从 5%（课前）提高到 71.2%（课后），提高到 86.4%在 JHS 学生中。Logistic 多元回归分析显示，4 年级学生和 6 年级学生之间以及 ES 学生和 JHS 之间的正确答案从课前到课后的提高没有显着差异。不同ES之间存在显着差异。JHS 学生明显多于 ES 学生 (P<0.01)，女性学生多于男性学生 (P<0.01) 回答他们有问题。关于钙和维生素有很多错误的答案。甚至在JHS三年级的学生中，对三大营养素缺乏正确的认识。他们把他们和其他人混淆了。ES 4年级通过开设与人体和疾病相关的课程，可以更好地了解疾病和三大营养素。从 ES 开始的重复健康课程可能会促进有关生活方式相关疾病的健康素养。披露 S.Kaneko：没有。K.Kamiya：没有。披露 S.Kaneko：没有。K.Kamiya：没有。披露 S.Kaneko：没有。K.Kamiya：没有。
