Tóm tắt

AbstractNutritional knowledge and dietary intake was assessed in two differing young Australian populations that had recently completed their schooling. No relationship was found between dietary practice and nutritional knowledge. These findings have implications for health education programs aimed at the young adult in that health‐oriented knowledge may not necessarily be translated to health‐oriented behaviour.
