This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between food habit and health status. For this purpose, 709 junior and senior high school teachers were asked to fill in a questionnaire. Mean score for the food habit was 10.99 in males and 12.17 in females. The balanced dietary intake was associated with the ideal body weight. In males and females with low food habit score the THI (Todai Health Index) point for depressed feelings was higher than in those with high food habit score. In males with low food habit score, THI point in nervousness was higher. In females with low food habit score, THI point in respiratory organs was higher. On the contrary the male subjects with high food habit score showed higher THI point in vanity and the female subjects with high feed habit score showed higher THI point in vanity and nervousness. Persons living alone showed a high tendency to eating away from home and to having low score of food habit. Persons with low food habit score showed a high tendency to eating instant foods and considered themselves having poor health status.
