Abstract

We analyzed data from the combined 2008~2009 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) to compare the health factors related to menopausal stages in 45~60 year old Korean women. In this study, we classified the subjects into a premenopausal group (n = 439) and a postmenopausal group (n = 683). In the postmenopausal group, age was higher (p < 0.001), monthly income (p < 0.01) and education levels (p < 0.001) were significantly lower than in the premenopausal group. Body fat % and waist circumferences were also higher in the postmenopausal group than in the premenopausal group. The serum glucose (p < 0.05), total cholesterol (p < 0.001), LDL-cholesterol (p < 0.001), triglyceride (p < 0.001), GOT (p < 0.001), GPT (p < 0.001) in the postmenopausal group were higher than in the premenopausal group. The postmenopausal group showed a significantly lower quality of life compared to the premenopausal group (p < 0.01). With regard to dietary quality, nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) of vitamin A, vitamin $B_1$, vitamin $B_2$ and niacin in the postmenopausal group were significantly lower than in the premenopausal group. The levels of glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride showed a significantly positive correlation with age, waist circumferences, body fat % and BMI. The 45~60 year old Korean women in this study showed high levels of obesity and serum lipids. Also, intakes of the vitamins and minerals of the women did not meet the level of Dietary reference intakes for Koreans. Therefore, nutritional risk may be high in the women, especially in postmenopausal women. In order to prevent the health risk, women's health care including the quality of the meal should be considered.

본 연구는 2008~2009년도 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 45세~60세 중년여성의 식사의 질을 포함한 다각적인 건강 행태를 파악하고자 폐경 전 후의 인구사회학적인 특성, 신체적, 정신적, 혈액학적, 식사의 질의 특성을 분석하여 건강 요인과 폐경과의 관계를 분석하고자 하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1) 조사대상자 중 폐경 후 여성이 폐경 전 여성에 비해 연령이 유의적으로 높았고(p < 0.001), 교육수준(p < 0.001)과 월 소득(p < 0.01)은 유의적으로 낮았다. 2) 체지방률(p < 0.001)과 허리둘레(p < 0.001)는 폐경 후 여성이 폐경 전 여성에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 3) 혈액학적 지표 특성 중 혈당(p < 0.05), 총 콜레스테롤(p < 0.001), LDL-콜레스테롤(p < 0.001), 중성지방(p < 0.001), GOT(p < 0.001), GPT(p < 0.001)의 농도가 폐경 후 여성이 폐경 전 여성에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 4) 삶의 질은 폐경 전 여성이 폐경 후 여성에 비해 유의적(p < 0.01)으로 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 불안/우울 정도와 스트레스 수준은 두 그룹 간 차이가 없었다. 5) 식사의 질은 평균 영양소 적정섭취비(MAR)가 0.78로 다소 낮았으며, 폐경 전 후 각 군을 비교 한 결과에서는 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_1$, 비타민 $B_2$, 나이아신의 NAR 값이 폐경 후 여성에서 폐경 전 여성에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다(p < 0.05). 6) 중년여성의 연령, 허리둘레, 체지방률, BMI는 혈당, 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤, 중성지방과 모두 양의 상관성을 보였다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 폐경 후 여성의 비만도가 폐경 전 여성에 비해 다소 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 혈중 지질 농도 또한 폐경 후 여성에서 유의적으로 높은 수치를 나타내어 폐경 후 여성의 비만 및 혈중 지질 관리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 칼슘, 칼륨, 비타민 $B_2$ 등의 비타민, 무기질 영양상태가 한국인의 영양섭취기준을 충족시키지 못하는 수준인 것으로 확인되었으며, 이러한 양상은 폐경 후 여성에서 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타나 앞으로 기대 수명이 증가하면서 폐경 후 의 삶이 증가된다는 점에서 볼 때 폐경 후 여성의 세밀한 건강관리와 식사의 질적 보완을 위한 체계적인 건강 및 영양교육 프로그램 구축이 사회적으로 반드시 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
