Women’s knowledge, attitude, food choice and self-efficacy on reducing fat intake were significantly improved than men after the program. 3. Analyzing the correlation factors of reducing fat intake knowledge, attitude, dietary behavior and self-efficacy, the findings were nutrition knowledge could significantly predict dietary behavior than to predict nutrition attitude, but couldn’t predict self-efficacy. Nutrition attitude was a stronger predictor of self-efficacy than dietary behavior. Both nutrition attitude and behavior could be predicted by self-efficacy, it might be an intermediate variable between nutrition attitude and behavior. Demographic variables (sex, age, education and concern of nutrition information) weren’t important predictors of nutrition knowledge, attitude, behavior and self-efficacy. Judging from the above, enhance nutrition knowledge wasn’t a good way to improve nutrition attitude and self-efficacy, but enhancing nutrition knowledge, attitude and behavior will improve dietary behavior.
