... Moreover, previous studies have reported associations between skipping breakfast and low self-esteem [26] and spending more time using social networking sites [27]. In Japan, shokuiku (food and nutrition education) lectures that include information on the importance of breakfast are provided to schoolchildren and their families throughout the country [28]. The introduction of school meal programs along with nutritional education as part of the school curriculum may be key interventions in primary schools to improve children's mental health status. ...
We aimed to examine the relationships of lifestyle habits and nutritional status with emotional behavior among schoolchildren in Sri Lanka. Five hundred and eight schoolchildren (195 boys and 313 girls) aged 5–10 years were included. Emotional and behavioral problems were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Nutritional status was used for body mass index-for-age z-score. Breakfast consumption, daily moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA), wake-up time, and bedtime were considered lifestyle habits. The mean total difficulties score ± standard deviation was 12.0 ± 5.3, and the mean prosocial behavior score was 7.4 ± 1.9. In total, 89.2% children ate breakfast, and 41.3% engaged in at least 60 min of MVPA per day. After adjustment for confounding factors, multiple logistic regression analyses showed that breakfast skipping was associated with high scores on conduct problems (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.95, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.50 to 5.77, p < 0.01) and that late bedtime was related to low prosocial behavior scores (aOR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.17 to 5.03, p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that promoting regular lifestyle habits helps reduce psychological difficulties in schoolchildren. However, further research, including longitudinal studies, are required to identify the mechanism underlying this relationship.

Background/objectives
Although higher diet quality is related to higher socioeconomic status among adults, it is unclear whether this result could be generalized to children. Elementary and junior high school lunch programs may contribute to the reduction of socioeconomic disparities in diet quality. We examined the association between diet quality and household income level in school children in Japan according to age subgroups.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted in 866 household members (435 men and 431 women) aged 6–18 years old from the 2014 National Health and Nutrition Survey, Japan. Dietary intake was assessed by 1 day semi-weighted household dietary record, and the Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top scores (range 0–70) were calculated. The household income was assessed by low, middle, and high. Associations between diet quality and household income levels were examined by age subgroups (6–14 years and 15–18 years), i.e., those with and without school lunch programs
Results
Higher dietary scores were observed in those with higher household income in the 15–18 year-olds; the multivariate adjusted mean (95% CI) of diet score was 44.3 (39.0–49.7), 48.8 (47.1–50.6), 51.6 (49.7–53.4) in children with the lowest household income level through the highest, respectively (P for trend = 0.003). However, there were no significant associations among those who were 6–14 years old.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that school lunch program in elementary and junior high schools might help to reduce socioeconomic disparities in diet quality. The development of healthy food environment in high schools without school lunch programs, should also be considered.
Penelitian ini membahas representasi pendidikan makan (shokuiku) dalam novel Madogiwa no Totto-chan karya Tetsuko Kuroyanagi dengan tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan bentuk dan makna shokuiku melalui penggunaan tanda semiotika ikon, indeks dan simbol. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode simak dan teknik catat untuk pengumpulan data. Analisis data menggunakan teori semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce dan konsep shokuiku. Hasil penelitian ditemukan 5 data ikon, 5 data indeks, dan 6 data simbol. Keseluruhan data yang ditemukan mencerminkan tiga bentuk pendidikan makan yaitu pendidikan intelektual (chiiku) yang diwakili oleh 4 tanda yaitu guru pertanian, lagu makan, laut dan gunung, serta tungku memasak (hangousuisan); 6 data pendidikan jasmani (taiiku) yang digambarkan oleh objek mama, guru renang, dan istri kepala sekolah; dan 6 data pendidikan moral (tokuiku) yang digambarkan oleh tanda kepala sekolah, upacara minum teh (sawakai), ohanashi, itadakimasu, bekal makan siang (bentou), dan sake. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah bahwa representasi shokuiku lebih banyak terdapat pada kelompok pendidikan moral dan pendidikan Jasmani dimana pemilihan dan pemberian nutrisi seimbang, olahraga, serta pola pembiasaan budaya asli Jepang merupakan bagian paling penting shokuiku dalam novel Madogiwa no Totto-chan
