Abstract
Main purpose of this survey is to determine the standards of the students who are attending Digor Anatolian High School in Kars, Digor on the subject of their nutrition knowledge and the eating habit. Research population would consist of 455 students of this school,but during our survey on the grounds that some of the students had exams,some were not at school,some didn’t want to take part in our survey,we were able to complete the research with 182 female,135 male; totally 317 volunteer students.They were applied an inquiry with 36 questions in order to define their eating habits and their nutrition knowledges in connection with demographic features. According to obtained data we performed a frequency analysis using SPSS 16.0 for Windows program. More than fifty percent of the students giving the answer “yes” for the first fourteen questions of thirteen we can say that,partially ,they are informed about nutrition.Contrary to this conclusion,because students’ answers to those questions “What results can be seen in a lack of certain nutrients” and “which nutrients can be found in food groups” remain below %50 mean that they don’t have adequate information for this subject. In the light of these findings we can conclude that eating habit of the students is not satisfying for their daily life. Accordingly, they must exert much more efforts for this subject.
