Abstract

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of weight control behaviors and their association with food and nutrient intake among Korean adults. Study subjects were 7,340 Koreans aged 20 years and older in the 1998 Korean Health and Nutrient Survey. Cross-sectional data were collected on weight control behavior and diet using structured questionnaire by interview. Analysis of variance following after Duncan's multiple range test was used to test the differences in food and nutrient intake among three different weight control behavior groups(weight reducing attempt, weight gaining attempt, none). Current weight control behaviors were reported by 32% of the study subjects. There were significant differences in weight control behaviors between male and female subjects; weight reducing practices were 7 times greater than weight gaining practices among female subjects while it was only 1.5 times among male subjects. Weight control behaviors were not consistently associated with food and nutrient intake among male and female subjects. Moreover, greater food and nutrient intake were observed among those who trying to reducing weight than those who did not try. Therefore, it Is necessary to educate the Korean adults that balanced food and nutrient intake with sustaind weight control effort is the ideal way to achieve healthy weight.

본 연구는 체중조절 관련 행위의 실천실태 파악과 실천내용에 따라 한국인의 식이섭취 양상에 차이가 있는지 여부를 규명해 보기 위해 수행되었다. 1998년 국민건강.영양조사의 대상이 되었던 20세이상 성인 7370명의 체중관련 실천행위와 그들의 식품 및 영양소섭취 자료가 분석에 이용되었다. 체중관련 실천 행위로는 체중감량 노력, 체중증가 노력, 노력 안 함 등의 실천행위와 체중감소 노력이유, 체중감소 노력시 사용한 방법 등이 조사되었고 자료수집은 설문지를 이용한 면접 조사를 통해 수행되었다 식품 및 영양소 섭취조사는 24시간 회상법이 이용되었다. 분석결과 한국인의 32%가 체중조절 행위를 실천하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 미국등의 실천 수준보다 훨씬 낮은 수준이었다. 이들 실천 양상에는 남녀간의 차이가 있어 체중조절 실천 남성의 60%가 체중감소 노력을 하고 있으며 40%는 체중증가 노력을 하고 있어 체중감소노력자가 체중증가노력자의 1.5배였다. 반면 여성 체중조절 실천자중 줄이려는 노력자는 전체 노력자의 88%로써 줄이려는 노력자 12%의 7배로 나타났다. 체중조절 노력에 따른 식품 및 영양소 섭취양상은 체중감소 노력을 하는 대상자가 남녀 모두 늘리려는 노력을 하는 사람들보다는 곡류 등 대부분의 식품군에서 낮은 섭취 수준을 보이나 아무 노력도 하지 않는 군보다는 높은 섭취 수준을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 식품 섭취 결과는 영양소섭취 양상에 그대로 반영되어 줄이려는 노력군의 에너지 단백질 지방 등 대부분의 영양소의 섭취가 노력하지 않는 군보다 높게 나타나 이들이 궁극적 목적인 체중감량에 성공할 수 없었을 가능성을 본 연구 결과는 시사하고 있다 이러한 격과는 체중 감량 노력 대상자의 대부분이 체중감량이 필요한 비만인이나 질병을 앓고 있는 대상자라는 배경 때문으로 간주된다. 그러므로 비만인들이 건강하지 못한 오래된 식습관을 극복하지 못한 결과로 사료되어 성인기 이전 성장기에 올바른 식습관에 대한 영양교육이 성인 비만의 예방과 치료에 중요함을 본 연구 결과는 시사하고 있다.
