Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sweets preference, food frequency, dietary habits, and nutrition knowledge of middle school students who like sweets. A survey instrument consisted of a self-administered questionnaire, a food frequency questionnaire, and anthropometric measurements. Three hundreds thirty five students aged 13 to 15 years old were divided into two groups, Sweets Liking Group (SLG) and a control group based on the subjects' scores for dietary habits, sweets preference, and food frequency. For dietary habits, the score for meal regularity was significantly lower in the SLG group compared to the control (p<0.001). In addition, the SLG group was more likely to skip breakfast (p<0.001), eat inadequate amount of meals (p<0.001), and consume yellow-green vegetables less frequently (p<0.001) than the control. The subjects' nutrition knowledge was assessed using 20 questions representing five categories, including functions of nutrients, nutrition and health, food pyramid and food groups, healthful snacking and the right dietary attitude. The total scores for nutrition knowledge indicated that the SLG had a poorer nutrition knowledge for all five categories than the control (boys p<0.05, girls p<0.01). For food frequency, the SLG consumed more sweets but less grains, cereals, fishes, beans, vegetables, and milk and milk products than the control (p<0.001). Strong positive correlations appeared between sweets preference, sweets frequency, and sweets-related dietary habits; and all were negatively correlated to nutrition knowledge. Sweets frequency was negatively related to meal regularity, breakfast consumption, meal adequacy, and balanced meals. The findings suggest that nutrition education is necessary to improve the dietary pattern, especially sweets consumption, of Korean young adolescents.

본 연구에서는 당분이 많은 과자류나 가당 음료에 대한기호가 강한 중학교 학생들의 식습관 개선 및 영양교육을위한 사전 연구로서 이들의 영양지식, 식습관, 식품섭취패턴을 조사하고자 하였다. 본 연구 조사대상자 335명 중에서 33.1%인 111명의 학생들이 당류편식군에 속하는 것으로 드러났으며, 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 식습관 점수에 있어서 남학생과 여학생 모두 군별로 유의한 차이를 보였는데, 세 끼 식사의 규칙성, 아침식사, 식사량의 적정성, 식사 시의 균형, 녹황색 채소, 고기, 생선, 우유의 섭취 정도를 묻는 문항에서는 당류편식군의 점수가 낮았으며, 간식의 양, 과자 및 사탕 등의 당류, 인스턴트식품, 패스트푸드, 햄과 소시지, 탄산음료의 섭취 정도를 묻는 문항에서는 당류편식군의 점수가 높았다. 영양지식 점수에 있어서는 남학생과 여학생 모두 당류편식군의 점수가 낮았으며, 군별로 유의한 차이를보였다. 또한, 각 영역별로 살펴보았을 때 남학생은 식품구성탑과 5가지 식품군, 바른 간식 섭취 영역에서 군별 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 여학생은 영양과 건강, 식품구성탑과 5가지 식품군에서 군별 유의한 차이가 있었다. 식품섭취빈도에 있어서는 쌀밥, 잡곡밥의 섭취빈도는 당류편식군이 낮았으며, 라면과 빵, 케이크의 섭취빈도는 당류편식군이 높았다. 햄, 소시지의 섭취빈도가 당류편식군에서 높았고 콩, 배추, 무, 콩나물, 시금치, 오이, 고추, 당근, 상추, 양배추 등 채소류는 당류편식군의 섭취빈도가 낮았다. 우유 섭취빈도는 당류편식군이 낮았으나 아이스크림은 당류편식군의 섭취빈도가 훨씬 더 높았다. 과자류, 초콜릿 및 사탕, 햄버거, 피자, 탄산음료의 섭취빈도는 당류편식군에서 높게 나타났다. 영양지식 점수가 높을수록 당류 섭취빈도(p<0.05), 당류관련 기호도(p<0.01), 당류관련 식습관 점수(p<0.01)가 낮아지는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 또한, 당류 섭취빈도가 높을수록 당류관련 기호도(p<0.01)와 당류관련 식습관 점수(p<0.01)가 높아지는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 당류관련 기호도 점수가 높을수록 당류관련 식습관 점수(p<0.01)가 높아지는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 남학생과 여학생 모두 당류 섭취빈도가 높아질수록 라면, 빵, 케이크, 햄, 소시지, 아이스크림, 햄버거, 피자의 섭취빈도가 높아지는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타낸 반면(p<0.01), 두부, 콩(남학생 p<0.05, 여학생 p<0.01), 김치(p<0.01), 당근(p<0.01), 우유(p<0.01)의 섭취빈도는 낮아지는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 본 연구는 부산지역 거주 중학생을 이용하여 $13{\sim}15$세 청소년의 당류편식의 심각성을 진단하였다는 점에서 그 의의가 크다고 사료된다. 당류편식군 학생들을 대상으로 본 연구에서 드러난 문제점을 도출하여 영양지식, 식습관, 식품섭취패턴이 개선될 수있도록 학생들이 꾸준히 실천할 수 있는 구체적인 대안을 제시하고 행동 변화에 중점을 두는 영양교육이 요구되어지는 바이다.
