Abstract

This study was carried out to broadly profile the dietary pattern of elderly who consumed a higher amount of sodium compared to lesser sodium consumers. Na index 14, an instant food frequency questionnaire (IFFQ) of 40 items characterizing a high amount of sodium and a food frequency questionnaire of 63 food items that were used in nationwide surveys were adopted for the assessment of dietary characteristics of the subjects. The Na index 14 consisted of food items such as kimchi stew, bean paste stew, cooked spinach dish, seaweed soup, fish stew, roasted anchovy, and seasoned vegetables. Also, the survey constructs included nutritional knowledge and anthropometric measurements of the subjects. Out a total of 135 participants, 58 elderly were determined as the high sodium intake group (HSIG) and the other 77 were the control group, via a formerly validated Na index and sodium-associated dietary habits scale (SDH). Dietary habits of "add salt or soy sauce to foods", "drink up the broth of soups and stews", and "brined fishes and vegetables daily" were among the most significant differences between HSIG and control group in SDH assessment. In addition, the HSIG were less likely to have regular meals, adequate amount of meals, and nutritionally balanced meals than the control, with the differences manifesting more in females than males. Additional findings included that the HSIG possessed a poorer nutritional knowledge and obtained much higher scores on the IFFQ. Taken together, the study urges the needs of nutrition education for the elderly who habitually salt their foods and maintain a less desirable dietary style.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 고나트륨 섭취군을 분류하여 노인들의 식습관 개선 및 영양교육을 위한 사전연구로서 이들의 영양지식, 식습관, 식품섭취패턴을 조사하였다. 65세 이상 노인 135명의 조사대상자 중 42.96%인 58명이고나트륨 섭취군에 속하였다. 생활습관에서 음주, 간식횟수, 외식횟수, 수분섭취량에서 고나트륨 섭취군이 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며, 자반류, 젓갈류, 장아찌, 조림류, 국물 섭취량, 간장과 소금의 추가량에 관한 식습관 점수가 고나트륨 섭취군에서 유의적으로 높았다. 고나트륨 섭취군의 나트륨에 관한 영양지식 총점이 남녀노인 모두 유의적으로 낮았으며, 남자노인은 나트륨과 인스턴트식품, 나트륨과 인공조미료에 관한 문항에서, 여자노인은 나트륨과 질병과의 관계, 나트륨 섭취권장량에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 고나트륨 섭취군에서 Na index 14의 김치찌개, 된장찌개, 미역국, 멸치볶음에서의 섭취빈도가 유의적으로 높았다. 또한 인스턴트식품을 통한 총 나트륨 섭취량은 고나트륨 섭취군에서 남자노인 1562.49 mg, 여자노인 1227.82 mg으로 유의하게 높았으며, 특히 면류를 통한 섭취량이 70% 이상이었다. 영양지식 점수가 높을수록 Na index 14 점수(p<0.05), 인스턴트식품을 통한 나트륨 섭취량(p<0.01), 나트륨 섭취 관련 식습관 점수가 낮았다. Na index 14 점수에 대해 세끼 식사의 규칙성, 식사량의 적정성, 천천히 식사함(p<0.01) 항목에서 유의한 음의 상관관계를 나타내었으며, Na index 14 점수가 높을수록 인스턴트 국류(p<0.01), 탕류(p<0.01), 죽류(p<0.01), 스프류(p<0.01), 면류(p<0.01), 레토르트류(p<0.01)의 섭취가 높았다. 본 연구는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 하여 나트륨 과잉 섭취 노인의 특성 및 섭취요인을 진단하였다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다고 사료된다. 이에 고나트륨 섭취군을 대상으로 본 연구에서 드러난 문제점을 도출하여 이들의 영양지식, 식습관, 식품섭취패턴이 개선될 수 있도록 구체적인 대안을 제시하고 행동변화에 중점을 두는 영양교육이 요구되어지는 바이다.
