24 To clarify the use of dietary supplements containing non-vitamin, non-mineral supplements and the current dietary life of the university students, a questionnaire survey was conducted between January and April 2004 on 204 male students and 203 female students. About taking care of health, those who mentioned items other than the three main elements; namely, diet, exercise, and rest, were classified into a non-element group. Those who replied to any of the three elements were made into an element group. There was no difference in gender between both groups. The survey consisted of self-reported questions pertaining to the body physique, health status, eating habits, supplement use and type, source of information, and reasons for use. In the element group, 75.3% used dietary supplement used at present or in the past, and this was significantly higher than in the non-element group 62.7%. In general, sport drinks 50%, stick food 41%, and nutritional drinks 40% were the most commonly used items. The intake frequency of food groups was determined, and the scores of intake of animal foods and vegetable foods in the element group were significantly higher than in the non-element group. On the other hand, the score of pre-cooked food in the element group was significantly lower than in the non-element group. This clarified that the use of dietary supplements and dietary life differed according to the consideration for health. These results suggest that there is a need for appropriate health education including dietary supplements to the university students. dietary supplements, dietary life, university students, consideration for health
