Abstract : | |
The present study was conducted on 120 high school adolescents (15-18 years). The main aim of the study was to explore the food preferences and dietary intake of high school students studying in an established private school in an urban set up. Majority of the respondents (70%) were in the age group of 15-16 years and out of the total 86.66 per cent were Hindus. Half of the respondents were pure vegetarians. All the respondents (100%) reportedly skipped meals often. The given reason for skipping meals by 50 per cent of the respondents was that they had no taste for homemade food. |
