Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate vegetable intakes according to body mass index (BMI) of adolescents. For this, 400 middle and high school adolescents living in Buyeogun, Chungnam were classified into underweight group, healthy weight group, and overweight group according to BMI, after which eating habits, daily intake levels of vegetables, perception of vegetables, and vegetable-related eating habits were compared and analyzed. As the reason for skipping breakfast, 'Lack of time (44.3%)' was the most frequently cited. In the case of unbalanced food intakes, the underweight group and overweight group showed the highest response for 'grain' while the healthy weight group showed the highest response for 'vegetables' with significant differences (P<0.001). Daily intakes of one serving size of vegetables was 3.3 in the underweight group, 3.8 servings in the healthy weight group, and 3.8 servings in the overweight group, but there was no significant difference. However, frequency of vegetable intake at lunch was once in the underweight group, which was significantly lower than 1.3 servings in the healthy weight group and 1.4 servings in the overweight group (P<0.05). Regarding perception of vegetables, perception of 'Vegetable consumption helps to get beautiful skin' (P<0.01) and 'I eat vegetables or don't eat depending on a cooking method' (P<0.05) were significantly higher in the underweight group. In the evaluation of vegetables-related eating habits, preference for vegetables in the underweight group was lower than that in the healthy weight and overweight groups (P<0.05). Summarizing the above results, vegetable intake by adolescents was generally low, and the frequency of vegetable intake at lunch as well as preference for vegetables were significantly lower in the underweight group. Studies to identify the relationships between adolescent body types and vegetable intakes are required.

본 연구는 청소년을 대상으로 BMI에 따라 채소류의 섭취상태를 조사함으로써 체형에 따른 적절한 채소 섭취지도와 바람직한 식생활 및 식습관 형성에 필요한 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 따라서 충남 부여군에 거주하는 중 고등학교 청소년 400명을 대상으로 BMI에 따라 저체중군, 건강체중군, 과체중 이상 군으로 분류하여 식습관, 채소류의 1일 섭취수준, 채소류에 대한 인식, 채소류 관련 식습관을 비교 분석하였다. 조사대상자의 가족 수는 4명(49.0%)이 가장 많았고, 아버지 학력과 어머니 학력은 '고등학교 졸업'이 각각 39.0%, 59.0%로 가장 많았으며, 월평균소득은 '300~400만원(32.3)%'이 가장 많았다. 아침식사를 거르는 이유는 '시간이 부족해서(44.3%)'가 가장 많았으며, 편식하는 음식의 종류는 저체중과 과체중의 경우 '곡류'라는 응답이 가장 높게 나타난 반면, 건강체중의 경우에는 '채소류'라는 응답이 가장 높아 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.001). 채소류의 1회 섭취량을 고려한 1일 섭취횟수는 저체중군 3.3회, 건강체중군 3.8회, 과체중군 3.8회로 체형군별 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러나 점심식사를 통한 채소류의 섭취횟수는 저체중군이 1회로 건강체중군 1.3회와 과체중군 1.4회보다 유의하게 낮았다(P<0.05). 채소류에 대한 인식도 평가에서 채소류는 '먹으면 피부가 예뻐진다'(P<0.01)와 '조리방법에 따라 먹을 때도 있고 먹지 않을 때도 있다'(P<0.05)라는 인식이 저체중군에서 유의하게 높았다. 채소류 관련 식습관 평가에서 저체중군의 채소류 기호도는 건강체중과 과체중군에 비해 낮았으며, 채소가 좋은 이유는 '맛이 있어서', 채소가 싫은 이유는 '그냥'이, 채소의 섭취량은 '급식과 집에서 먹는 양이 비슷하다'가, 싫어하는 채소 색은 '흰색', 싫어하는 채소 조리법은 '삶아서 무침', 채소의 싫어하는 느낌은 '쌉쌀하다', 선호하는 김치는 '나박김치'라는 응답이 가장 많았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 본 조사 청소년의 채소류 섭취는 전반적으로 낮았으며, 특히 건강체중군은 채소류에 대한 편식이 높았고 저체중군은 점심식사를 통한 채소류의 섭취횟수와 채소류에 대한 기호가 유의하게 낮았다. 앞으로 청소년의 체형과 채소류 섭취와의 관계를 보다 정확하게 규명하기 위한 연구와 함께 본 연구 결과를 고려한 적절한 채소류 섭취지도가 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.
