Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nutrient intake status of university students in Chuncheon area (175 males and 131 females). This study was conducted by employing a self-administered questionnaire. Dietary assessment was measured by a 24-h recall method. The average height and weight of male students were $175.2{\pm}6.2cm$ and $68.2{\pm}9.9kg$, respectively. For female students, average values were $161.7{\pm}5.2cm$ and $55.1{\pm}6.5kg$, respectively. The mean BMIs for both male and female students were 22.2 and 21.1, respectively. In both male and female students, the rate of skipping breakfast was high. Daily averages for energy, carbohydrates, protein, and fat intakes in male students were significantly higher than those of female students (P<0.001). For male students, protein, vitamin B1, P, Fe, and Na were above recommended nutrient intake and adequate intake, whereas for female students, they were protein, vitamin A, P, and Na. For male students, nutrient intakes for Ca, vitamin $B_2$, vitamin C, and vitamin $B_6$ were below the estimated average requirement (EAR) by at least 50% or more, whereas for female students, they were vitamin C, Fe, vitamin $B_6$, vitamin $B_2$, niacin, folate, and Ca. Ca was alarmingly low, with more than 75% of both male and female students showing levels below the EAR. Therefore, it is important that nutritional education be facilitated for college students to take responsibility of their own health through learning about nutrient intake as well as developing positive eating habits.

본 연구는 춘천지역 대학생 306명(남 175명, 여 131명)을 대상으로 성별에 따른 영양소 섭취 상태를 알아보았으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 평균 나이는 남학생이 $21.1{\pm}2.9$세, 여학생이 $20.3{\pm}2.2$세였고(P<0.05), 평균 신장과 체중은 남녀 각각 $175.2{\pm}6.2cm$$68.2{\pm}9.9kg$, $161.7{\pm}5.2cm$$55.1{\pm}6.5kg$으로 나타났으며(P<0.001), 평균 BMI는 남녀 각각 $22.2{\pm}2.8$$21.1{\pm}2.1$로 나타났다(P<0.001). 끼니별 결식률은 남녀 모두 아침결식률(31.7%, 29.2%)이 가장 높게 나타났다. 성별에 따른 영양소 섭취 상태를 알아본 결과, 1일 평균 에너지, 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방은 남학생이 여학생보다 유의적으로 높게 섭취하였다(P<0.001). 또한 비타민 A와 C를 제외한 비타민 $B_1$(P<0.001), 비타민 $B_2$(P<0.01), 나이아신(P<0.001), 비타민 $B_6$(P<0.001), 비타민 E(P<0.001), 엽산(P<0.01), 칼슘(P<0.05), 인(P<0.001), 철분(P<0.001), 아연(P<0.001), 나트륨(P<0.001), 콜레스테롤(P<0.001)도 남학생이 유의적으로 높게 섭취하였다. 주중과 주말의 영양소 섭취 상태는 남학생이 1일 평균 에너지(P<0.01), 탄수화물(P<0.01), 단백질(P<0.05), 지방(P<0.01), 비타민 $B_1$(P<0.01), 나이아신(P<0.01), 비타민 $B_6$(P<0.01), 비타민 E(P<0.01), 철분(P<0.05), 아연(P<0.01), 나트륨(P<0.05)을, 여학생은 지방(P<0.05), 비타민 E(P<0.05), 칼슘(P<0.01), 철분(P<0.01)을 주말에 비해 주중에 유의적으로 높게 섭취하였다. 에너지 섭취량에 대한 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방의 섭취비율은 남학생이 57.8:15.3:26.8, 여학생이 58.5:15.1:26.2로 나타나면서 서로 유사한 결과를 보였다. 성별에 따른 한국인 영양섭취기준에 대한 섭취비율을 보면 권장섭취량과 충분섭취량 이상 섭취한 영양소는 남학생의 경우 단백질, 비타민 $B_1$, 인, 철분, 나트륨이었으며, 여학생은 단백질, 비타민 A, 인, 나트륨으로 나타났다. 남학생의 에너지 필요추정량에 대한 섭취비율은 69%, 여학생은 70%였으며, 남학생은 비타민 $B_2$, 비타민 C, 칼슘을, 여학생은 비타민 C, 철분, 칼슘을 권장섭취량의 80% 이하로 섭취하고 있었다. 주중과 주말의 영양섭취기준에 대한 섭취비율을 살펴보면 남학생은 비타민 $B_6$와 아연을, 여학생은 칼슘과 철분을 주중에 비해 주말에 상대적으로 부족하게 섭취하였다(P<0.01). 성별에 따른 EAR 미만 섭취자 비율은 남학생이 칼슘(81.7%), 비타민 $B_1$(69.4%), 비타민 C(64.9%), 비타민 $B_6$(53.7%)를, 여학생은 칼슘(75.4%), 비타민 C(64.6 %), 철분(60.8%), 비타민 $B_6$(58.5%), 비타민 $B_2$(55.8%), 나이아신(53.5%), 엽산(51.9%)이 50%를 넘어 영양소의 섭취량이 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 연구 결과에서 대학생들의 높은 아침결식률, 남학생이 여학생에 비해 높은 영양 섭취를 보이고 있었으나 전반적으로 대학생들의 에너지 섭취 수준은 낮았으며 특정 영양소, 특히 칼슘, 비타민 C, 철분, 비타민 $B_2$ 등의 영양 섭취 상태가 나쁜 것으로 나타났다. 또한 아침결식률과 영양 섭취 상태는 주중보다는 주말에 문제가 있는 것으로 나타나 불규칙한 생활 패턴에 따른 식습관 개선이 시급한 상황이다. 따라서 규칙적인 식생활 및 균형 잡힌 식습관 등에 대한 정확한 이해와 함께 식태도가 긍정적인 방향으로 변화되어 대학생들이 건강과 영양 상태 향상에 도움이 되는 행동을 자발적으로 습득할 수 있도록 영양교육의 필요성이 절실히 요구되는 바이다. 한편 본 연구는 표본의 대상이 춘천지역 일부 대학생이기에 연구 결과를 일반화시키는 데 어려움이 있다. 또한 영양소 섭취 상태의 분석 자료로 사용된 24시간 회상법은 자기기입방법으로 정확한 섭취량을 측정하기 어려운 점이 있어 본 연구의 영양소 섭취 상태와 국민건강영양조사 결과에 차이를 보인 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 본 연구는 개인의 영양 상태 평가가 아닌 집단 간의 비교이고, 개인별 일일 식품 섭취의 편차를 최소화하기 위해 주중과 주말이 포함된 4일 간의 조사를 실시하였기에 다른 지역 및 연령대와의 비교나 특성 연구 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
