Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the factors related to skipping breakfast in high school girls. Methods: A survey of a total of 581 high school girls residing in Incheon was conducted. The subjects were classified into 2 groups according to the breakfast frequency: "breakfast skipping" group (eating breakfast ≤ 2 times/week, n = 250) and "breakfast eating" group (eating breakfast ≥ 3 times/week, n = 331). This study compared the general characteristics, lifestyles, interest in weight control and beauty care, food habits, the reasons and symptoms of skipping breakfast, as well as the attitude toward breakfast between the 2 groups. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 16.5 years old. Approximately, 33.9%, 33.6%, and 32.5% of the subjects were in first grade, second grade, and third grade, respectively, with no significant difference between the 2 groups. The breakfast skipping group showed a high interest in weight control, and beauty care than the breakfast eating group. The breakfast skipping group consumed more afternoon snacks and late-night snacks, and ate dinner irregularly. Although the breakfast skipping group experienced the negative effects of skipping breakfast, they showed low recognition for the importance or role of breakfast. The most common reason for skipping breakfast was lack of time, which appears to be related to the late wake-up time and the time spent on make-up or beauty-care. Conclusion: Skipping breakfast by high school girls was related to a high interest in beauty care, irregular meals and low attitude toward the importance of breakfast for health and nutrition. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct nutrition education to change the perceptions and attitudes of female adolescents regarding the importance of breakfast by recognizing that breakfast can affect not only balanced nutrition and health, but also healthy physical beauty.

본 연구는 아침결식률이 높은 청소년기 여고생을 대상으로 아침결식과 관련된 요인을 규명하고자 인천지역에 거주하는 여고생 581명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 아침식사 빈도에 따라 주 2회 이하 아침식사를 하는 대상자를 아침결식군 (250명, 43.0%), 주 3회 이상 아침 식사를 하는 대상자를 아침식사군 (331명, 57.0%)으로 분류하여 일반적 사항, 라이프스타일, 체중조절과 외모에 대한 관심도, 식행동, 아침결식의 원인 및 증상, 아침식사에 대한 태도를 비교 분석하였다. 연구대상자의 평균 연령은 16.5세였고, 아침결식군과 아침식사군의 평균 연령 및 학년의 분포는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 아침결식 여부와 용돈 간에는 유의적인 관련성이 제시되어 아침결식군이 한 달에 사용한 용돈이 10만원 이상인 비율 (36.4%)에서 아침식사군 (22.1%)에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 취침 시간의 분포는 아침결식군과 아침식사군 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 기상 시간은 아침결식군이 아침식사군에 비하여 6시 이전에 일어나는 비율이 낮았고, 7시 반 이후에 일어나는 비율이 유의적으로 높았다. 등교 전 가장 많은 시간을 소요하는 활동에는 아침결식군의 경우 화장 등 미용이 38.8%로 가장 높은 비율을 보였고, 아침식사군의 경우 아침식사가 42.6%로 가장 높아 두 군 간에 유의적 차이를 보였다. 체중조절 관심도와 외모 가꾸기에 대한 관심도는 유의적인 차이를 보이면서 두 항목 모두 아침결식군이 높았다. 오후 간식과 야식, 편의점 편의식, 가공음료는 아침결식군이 아침 식사군에 비하여 더 자주 먹는 것으로 나타난 반면, 저녁식사 섭취는 아침결식군이 아침식사군에 비하여 결식하는 비율이 높았다. 아침결식 이유로 아침결식군과 아침식사군 모두 시간이 없어서가 각각 72.3%, 74.1%로 가장 높았고, 군 간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 아침 결식군의 경우 아침결식시 나타나는 증상으로 학습과 관련된 부작용인 수업시간에 졸림, 기억력 감퇴와 같은 증상을 호소한 비율이 아침식사군에 비하여 높은 반면, 아침식사군의 경우는 기운이 없고, 배가 아프거나 속쓰림과 같은 신체 증상을 호소하는 비율이 높았다. 아침식사에 대한 태도는 아침결식군이 아침식사군에 비하여 아침식사가 학습, 기억력, 건강에 미치는 중요성에 대한 인식이 낮았다. 이상과 같이 여고생의 아침결식은 늦은 기상 시간, 외모를 가꾸기를 위한 미용, 다른 식사의 불규칙성 및 간식, 편의식, 가공음료 등의 섭취 증가, 아침식사에 대한 잘못된 태도와 관련되어 있었다. 특히 아침결식률이 높은 여고생들은 바쁜 아침시간에 화장과 같은 외모 가꾸기에 많은 시간을 소요하며, 아침식사의 섭취를 소홀히 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 여자 청소년들을 대상으로 아침식사가 학습능률 향상 및 균형적인 영양섭취를 통한 건강증진과 건강을 기반으로 한 신체적 아름다움까지 영향을 줄 수 있음을 인식시키고, 아침식사의 중요성에 대한 인식과 태도를 향상시켜 아침식사 섭취를 능동적으로 실천할 수 있도록 하는 영양교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
