Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain information related to life style characteristics, school achievement and snacking behaviors among underweight and overweight adolescents in Ulsan area. The survey was carried out by self-questionnaires with 464 adolescents (333 underweight and 131 overweight). The results were as follows: Average BMI of the subjects was $19.81{\pm}3.10\;kg/m^2$ which was normal range, but average BMI of underweight and overweight were $16.90{\pm}1.19\;kg/m^2$ and $25.38{\pm}2.16\;kg/m^2$ respectively. The 49.5% of underweight and 94.7% of overweight students have correct perception about their body image. In the sleeping time, 58.9% of underweight and 66.4% of overweight students go to bed after PM 12 o'clock. In the regularity of eating breakfast, 68.5% of underweight and 67.9% of overweight students skipping breakfast at least 5 times per week. 32.6% of the subjects had snack once or more a day. Underweight students had more frequently ate snack than overweight students. The criteria of choosing snack were taste (77.4%), nutrition (9.3%), and price (6.3%). Food as snack they frequently had fruits, milk & milk products, cookies in order. Underweight students had more dodkboki & sundae, candy & chocolate and cake & bread than overweight students, although overweight students had more milk & yogurt than underweight students. The group who had a higher school record, they significantly had more fruits, milk & milk products (p < 0.01) and had not less nutritious foods (p < 0.001). This study may provide basic information on weight status, sleeping and snacking behaviors of adolescents. Therefore they should have nutrition education program to improve their life style and snacking patterns for underweight and overweight adolescents toward healthy weight.

본 연구는 울산지역에 거주하는 12~19세의 남녀 청소년 중 저체중군과 과체중군을 대상으로 일반적 생활습관특성, 학업성취도 및 간식섭취행동을 조사하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자는 저체중군 333명, 비만군 131명으로 구성되었으며, 저체중군의 평균 BMI는 $16.90{\pm}1.19\;kg/m^2$, 과체중군은 $25.38{\pm}2.16\;kg/m^2$으로 나타났다. 성별로 보면 저체중군은 여학생이, 과체중군은 남학생이 많았으며, 연령 별로는 12~14세보다 15세 이상에서 더 뚜렷한 결과를 보였다 (p < 0.01). 저체중군은 자신이 마른편임에도 보통이거나 뚱뚱하다고 잘못 인식 (50.4%)하였으며, 과체군의 94.7%는 자신이 뚱뚱하다고 바르게 인식하고 있었다 (p < 0.001). 학업성적이 하위권에 속하는 군에서는 저체중보다 과체중이 많은 경향을 보였으며, 취침시간에서는 밤12시 이후에 잠을 자는 비율이 과체중군 (66.4%)이 저체중군 (58.9%) 보다 많이 나타났다. 저체중군은 하루 1회 이상 간식을 섭취하는 비율이 36.3%였으며, 과체중군은 22.9%로 간식섭취횟수가 저체중군과 과체중군에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다 (p < 0.05). 간식섭취식품으로 과일, 우유 및 유제품과 커피를 제외하고는 저체중군의 섭취빈도가 높았으며, 학업성적이 좋을수록 우유 및 유제품과 과일을 자주 섭취하였고 (p < 0.01), 학업성적이 낮을 수록 감자튀김, 탄산음료, 사탕 및 초콜릿류, 쿠키, 케익과 빵, 팝콘 등을 자주 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다 (p < 0.001). 이상의 연구결과에서 청소년들은 과체중군 뿐만 아니라 저체중군의 건강관리에 관심을 가져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 대부분의 청소년들이 간식 섭취시 부족한 영양보충과 성장 발육에 도움이 되는 식품을 선택하기보다는 맛을 위주로 선택하였으며, 특히 저체중군은 간식섭취횟수가 과체중군보다 많았으며, 이로 인해 규칙적인 식사가 이루어지지 않았고, 과체중군은 취침시간이 저체중군보다 늦었으며, 학업성적도 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 청소년은 외모에 많은 관심을 가지고 있으며, 잘못된 미적기준으로 인해 저체중군은 자신의 체형을 제대로 인식하지 못하고, 잦은 간식섭취를 통해 식사를 대신함으로써 건강에 악영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 과체중군은 간식섭취빈도는 낮지만 늦은 취침시간으로 인해 체중조절을 위해 참았던 식욕을 야식 등으로 대신하는 경향을 보여주어 저체중군과 과체중군 모두 잘못된 생활습관을 반복하고, 학업에도 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 두 집단 모두 영양교육의 대상자임을 인식하고, 적극적이고 시기적절한 생활습관 개선과 올바른 영양교육이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 가정과 학교에서는 청소년기의 특성을 이해하고 고려하여 현명한 식품선택과 건강한 생활습관을 가질 수 있도록 지속적이고 실질적인 교육과 훈련이 필요하다고 하겠다.
