We have investigated the dietary lifestyles of the junior high school students in Hiroshima for three years since they actively promoted food education in 2005.We compared it with other school years (in 2006 and 2007) in order to investigate the effect of the food education program for three years and compared it with progressive grades (first grade in 2005, second grade in 2006 and third grade in 2007) in order to investigate the effect of continual food education in nearly the same groups.   The ratio of skipping breakfast and having a midnight snack and leaving the school lunch decreased from year to year. The hour of going to bed got earlier from year to year. The food education program had an effect on them. The ratio of having general malaise decreased from year to year. Having general malaise was related to having a midnight snack and the hour of going to bed. It was suggested that having the general malaise was caused by having a midnight snack and going to bed later.   The ratio of leaving the school lunch decreased from first grade to third grade. The continual food education had an effect on leaving the school lunch. The ratio of having breakfast and supper alone increased from the first grade to third grade. The hour of rising and going to bed got later from the first grade to third grade. The continual food education did not have an effect on them. It was suggested that eating alone and the time-use for living were influenced by the grade characteristics rather than the continual food education.
