In the previous study, by the application of multivariate analysis, seven preference factors for foodsregardless of attributive factorswhich gave influence on preference for foods were extracted and these factors were confirmed to play important roles for this preference.In this study, we have analyzed food preferences through crosstotaling attributiv e factors (such as age differences, living areas and occupations).The results were as follows:1. Even though the difference in food prefernces between men and women is scanty, this difference between the ages of 30 years old and 40 years old is conspicuous in both sexes. Therefore, it become possible to conclude that a turning point for food preferences lies in their 30's in both sexes.2. As to Japanese style cooked foods, there is also the difference of preference and men prefer proteinous foods and women prefer rather cereals.3. Though younger people prefer western-style foods, various kinds of snacks and desserts, older people (over 50's) prefer tradional Japanese foods.4. As to the regional difference of food preferences, people in Tokai district are moderate and resemble to the average of all over Japan; those in Kanto district select various foods indiscriminately; those in the Hokkaido, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu districts are conservative in their food likes and also dislikes; Those in Kinki district show extreme tendencies for both their likes and dislikes; and those in Tohoku and Hokkaido show no definite preferences.5. When the trend of food preferences is compared with groups of same age, there are some differences for this preference between occupational groups, and the professional technical workers do the selection of foods more positively than the laborer do.6. In conclusion, the food preferences are greatly affected by age groups and little by groups of sex, living areas or occupations.
