Education-based programs aiming to encourage healthy food knowledge and behaviors are crucial at a young age, and for this purpose, convenient ways to assess daily dietary intake are warranted. We therefore attempted to evaluate the dietary intake of Okinawan schoolchildren in Japan by analyzing a series of biomarkers in morning spot urine samples and explore whether these biomarkers correlate with body weight and a series of metabolic parameters. We enrolled 98 third-grade elementary schoolchildren in Okinawa, Japan. Morning spot urine samples were collected and analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to assess dietary intake. We found that estimated daily NaCl intake was higher in obese\/overweight children as compared to healthy-weight children (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0001). There was also a significant positive correlation between body mass index (BMI) and NaCl intake (Spearman) (<jats:italic>\u03c1<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.45, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) and a negative correlation between BMI and Mg\/Cr (<jats:italic>\u03c1<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u2009\u22120.27, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.01).
