This study aims to determine the relationship between dietary fiber knowledge level, nutritional status, and dietary fiber in adolescents. This research was carried out on 276 adolescents between the ages of 14-17 who studied at the high school level in İnegöl between November 2018 and May 2019 and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. A three-stage questionnaire was applied to the participants, and their anthropometric measurements were taken. A dietary fiber knowledge level scale (KADF) was used to determine the level of diet fiber knowledge. Three days of food consumption record was taken to determine the nutritional status. The mean percentage of the adolescents about their level of knowledge about dietary fiber sources (SDF) is 41.0 ± 16.1 (min: 0-max: 100), while the mean percentage of their knowledge about the effects of dietary fiber on health (DFPH) is 63.5 ± 18.1 (min: 0-max: 100). The average of the total score percentage was determined as 52.2 ± 12.3 (min: 18.8-max: 100). Although participants have a high level of knowledge about the health effects of dietary fiber, their awareness of dietary fiber sources is low. The percentage of DFPH scores of female and male adolescents studying in science high school is significantly higher compared to individuals studying in college. There was no statistically significant difference between dietary fiber information levels of adolescents and daily diet, energy, nutrient consumption, and vitamin-mineral intake (p> 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in dietary fiber information levels and daily dietary fiber consumption of adolescents (p> 0.05). This is since the level of knowledge is a necessary but not sufficient factor in food selection. As a result, more studies are needed to examine the relationship between dietary fiber knowledge level and dietary fiber intake in adolescents.
