Abstract

This study aimed to investigate awareness of processed foods and chronic disease in high school students (male 94 and female 85) in the Yongin area. Awareness of chronic disease caused by excessive intake of processed foods was 83.0% and 91.8% in male and female students, and the most harmful processed food was instant noodles (34.1%). The most fearful chronic disease was cancer (25.5%) and obesity (25.5%) in males, whereas female answered obesity (34.1%). Awareness of synthetic preservatives was the most negative answer among food additives, and the most useful information was harmfulness of food additives. Percentages of correct answers towards cardiovascular disease-causing food components, including lipids, saturated fat, cholesterol, and trans fat, and dietary fiber for prevention of obesity were 57.0% and 54.2%, respectively. The percentage of correct answers towards developing hypertension by excessive intake of sodium was very low at 24.6%. Consequently, high school students generally showed a negative attitude towards processed foods without accurate information related to prevention or food components causing chronic disease, especially sodium. Thus, an appropriate program and persistent nutrition education are required for healthy food choices to prevent chronic disease among processed foods.

용인시에 위치한 고등학교에 재학 중인 일부 남녀 고등학생 179명을 대상으로 가공식품의 전반적인 인식도에 대한 결과를 분석한 후 요약하면 다음과 같다. 남학생 83.0%, 여학생 91.8%가 가공식품의 과잉섭취가 만성질환을 유발할 가능성이 있다고 인식하고 있었으며 가장 유해한 가공식품의 종류는 34.1%가 라면이라고 대답하였다. 가장 두려운 만성질환으로 남학생은 암(25.5%)과 비만(25.5%)이라고 응답하였으며, 여학생은 34.1%가 비만이라고 응답하여 고등학생들은 남녀 공통적으로 비만에 대한 두려움을 표시하였다. 유해한 식품첨가물의 종류에 대한 인식도는 합성방부제라는 응답이 58.1%로 가장 많았으며 합성조미료> 인공색소>인공감미료 순의 결과를 보였다. 안전을 위해 가장 필요한 식품첨가물 정보로는 유해성이 54.2%로 가장 높은 결과를 보였다. 영양지식에 대한 분석 결과 심혈관계 질환 유발과 관련된 주요 식품성분들(총 지방, 포화지방, 콜레스테롤, 트랜스 지방 등)에 대한 지식정답률은 57.0%, 비만예방을 위한 식이섬유섭취에 대한 지식정답률은 54.2%의 결과를 보인 반면, 나트륨 이온의 과잉섭취와 고혈압 유발에 대한 지식정답률은 24.6%로 매우 낮은 결과를 보였다. 본 연구 결과 용인 일부지역 고등학생들의 가공식품에 대한 전반적인 인식도는 식품첨가물의 안전성에 대한 막연한 불안감과 더불어 건강하지 못한 식품으로 인식하고 있었다. 이에 반해 만성질환의 발병 및 예방을 위한 기초적인 식품성분들에 대한 지식수준은 매우 낮은 수준의 결과를 보여 청소년들을 대상으로 가공식품에 대한 건전성 및 안전성에 대한 교육과 더불어 만성질환 예방을 위한 기초적인 영양성분의 교육을 통해 건강한 가공식품의 선택적 구매와 건전한 식습관 형성을 유도시키는 것이 요구된다.
