Abstract

The present study was conducted to assess the efficacy of education on nutritional knowledge and performance of ADOLESCENT GIRLS of district 7 in Tehran in 2003. Materials and methods: For this quasi-experimental study 145 female high school students were studied. A questionnaire containing demographic data, nutritional knowledge, and dietary pattern of before and after the education was evaluated by interview. Anthropometric indices (weight, height, and body mass index) were also determined.Results: The study population included 145 students with the mean age of 15.5±0.5 years and family size of 4.6±1.1. The mean of height, weight, BMI, and age of menarche were 158.8±5.4cm, 56.4±10.2 kg, 22.8±6.2 kg/m2, and 12.7±1.1 years, respectively. BMI<5th and BMI>95th were reported in 5.2% and 3.4% of subjects, respectively. 44% had some degree of malnutrition and only 47.4% had satisfactory anthropometric indices. Scores of nutritional knowledge of subjects have revealed that 51.1 vs. 18.9%, 45.3 vs. 42.5%, and 3.6 vs. 38.6% were respectively distributed in the poor-, moderate- and good-knowledge group before and after the education.Conclusion: Education is an effective approach to promote nutritional knowledge, thus, an interesting educative program may significantly promote nutritional knowledge among ADOLESCENT GIRLS.
