From the necessity of managing water intake for the maintenance and improvement of health, we investigated the dietary habits and water intake among the female junior college students (n=68). The results are summarized as follows. The total water intake was apparently insufficient, averaging at 1437±363ml. While, 7.4% of the students satisfied the requirement (2000ml), 30.9% of them consumed less than 1200ml. The average amount of water taken as liquid was 762±318ml. Only 19.1% of the students satisfied the requirement (1000ml). In addition, both the amount of water taken at each meal and intake frequency per day tended to be insufficient, which reminded us of the necessity of improving the situation. As to the kinds of beverages taken, tea was most commonly consumed. The average amount of water taken from food sources was 675±223ml, satisfying 60-70% of the requirement. In addition, only 10.3% of the students satisfied the requirement (1000ml). The causes of deficiency included, insufficient meal (breakfast and lunch) and soup intake. Furthermore, those who habitually eat at irregular hours and those who skip meals showed significantly low levels of water intake. Based on the above findings, we confirmed the necessity of immediately improving the situations observed among the young generation by taking measures for insufficient water intake both via liquids and via food so as to attain the required water intake.
