The purpose of this study was to investigate dietary behavior and nutrient intakes of female high school students in Gwangju area. A questionaire and 24hr recall were distributed to 562 high school students. The average height and weight of girls' high school students were 161.0±4.7cm, 52.0±5.9Kg for the first grade and 161.3±4.6cm, 53.3±7.1Kg for the second one. BMI for the first grade and the second one was 20.1±2.0 and 20.5±2.5 respectively. 42% of both groups often skipped breakfast because of not having enough time. Intakes of most nutrients were adequate. However, Ca, Fe, folic acid intake were lower than those of the KDRIs regardless of their grades. Of the nutrients, Ca, Fe, Folic acid were taken 79.1%, 94.6%, 67.7% for the first grade and 69.4%, 86.0%, 69.2% for the second one. Energy ratio of carbohydrate : protein : fat was 58.8 : 16.5 : 24.7 for the first grade and 59.7 : 16.0 : 24.3 for the second one. Carbohydrate and protein were taken adequately and fat were high in this study. The dietary sources of protein and fat in two groups were plant sources rather than animal ones. One the other hand, dietary sources of Fe in two groups were animal sources rather than plan ones. MAR was 0.90 for the first grade and 0.88 for the second one. NAR was good except for Ca, and INQ was over 1 for most nutrients except for Ca, Fe, rivoflavin. Based on these results, nutritional education for the proper intakes of the nutrients was required for the girls' high school students in Gwangju area. Also, education has to be focused on the balanced diet, good dietary habits and exercise and to prevent subjects from abdominal obesity.
