Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary behavior, health-related lifestyles and nutrient intake status of college students according to physical activity levels. The physical activity levels were measured using the Korean version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form. The subjects of this study were 438 college students (243 males and 195 females) in Incheon area and were divided by gender and by physical activity levels, which included low, moderate and high physical activity groups. The average age of male and female students were 23.7 and 21.0 years old, respectively. The prevalence of the low physical activity group was 11.5% for males and 30.8% for females and that of the high physical activity group was 38.7% for males and 22.6% for females. According to the criteria for obesity in Asia-Pacific region, 39.1% of the males and 64.1% of the female students investigated were in the normal range of BMI and 30.9% of the males and 4.6% of the female students were in the obesity category. However, percent of body fat in the female students was significantly higher than that of the male students. The soft lean mass of the high physical activity group was higher compared to the other groups. In the low physical activity group, frequency of “eating out” was lower compared to the other groups. The average consumption of energy was 74.4% for males and 80.1% for females of the estimated energy requirement (EER). The mean intakes of vitamin C, vitamin B2, folic acid and Ca were 67.3%, 84%, 52.7% and 36.7% for males and 64.8%, 99.9%, 51.1% and 40.1% for females of recommended intake (RI), respectively. Therefore, it was necessary for obesity prevention as well as health promotion to increase physical activity and to eat an adequate, balanced diet in female college students.

대학생들의 신체활동도를 국제신체활동설문(IPAQ)을 통하여 조사하고 그에 따른 식행동, 건강관련 생활습관 및 식이섭취 상태를 알아보고자 인천지역 대학교에서 체중조절과 영양 관련 교양강의를 듣는 수강생들을 대상 (남자 243명, 여자 195명)으로 설문조사와 신체계측 및 3일간 식이섭취조사를 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 남학생과 여학생의 평균 연령은 각각 23.7세, 21.0세이었으며, 자택에서 거주하는 비율은 남녀 각각 59.3%, 73.3%이며 자취, 기숙사, 하숙이나 친척집에 거주하는 순이었다. 조사대상자의 50% 이상이 21${\sim}$40만원의 용돈을 받고 있었고, 여학생이 남학생에 비해 아르바이트를 하는 경우와 체중감소를 원하는 경우가 유의적으로 많았다. 대학생의 신체활동도를 조사해 본 결과 남학생은 저 신체 활동군이 11.5%인데 반해 여학생은 30.8%나 되었고, 고 신체 활동군의 경우 남학생은 38.7%, 여학생은 22.6%로 남학생이 여학생에 비해 신체활동도가 높았다. 여학생의 경우에는 고 신체 활동군의 신장이 저 신체 활동군의 신장보다 유의적으로 높았고, 근육량과 기초대사량의 경우 고 신체 활동군이 다른 군들에 비해 유의적으로 높은 값을 보였다. 남학생과 여학생 각각 46.3%, 58.5%가 평소에 아침식사를 하고 있었으며 남학생의 59.9%와 여학생의 31.8%는 식사를 빠르게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 남학생의 경우 저 신체 활동군이 다른 군들에 비해 외식 횟수의 비율이 낮았으며 남녀 모두 외식할 때 기호를 가장 많이 고려하였다. 간식은 주 3${\sim}$7회 섭취하는 비율이 높았으며 남학생은 저녁 이후(55.6%)에, 여학생은 오후(57.2%)에 많이 먹는 것으로 조사되었다. 남학생의 41.2%, 여학생의 3.6%가 흡연을 하며 남학생의 78.6%, 여학생의 68.2%가 음주를 하는 것으로 조사되었고, 대부분이 주 2회 이상 음주를 하고 있었다. 컴퓨터사용 및 TV 시청 시간은 남녀 각각 46%, 34.9% 가‘하루에 3시간 이상’이라고 대답하였으며 남학생의 경우 고 신체 활동군에서 자신이 건강하다고 지각하는 비율이 높았다.영양소 섭취량을 분석해 본 결과 신체활동도에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았으나 열량은 한국인 영양섭취기준의 필요추정량의 남녀 각각 74.4%, 80.1% 수준으로 섭취하고 있었으며 단백질의 섭취량은 남녀 모두 권장섭취량의 150%보다 높았다. 칼슘은 권장량의 40% 밖에 섭취하고 있지 않았으며, 철도 여학생은 섭취 부족의 심각성을 보이는 등균형 잡히지 못한 식생활 양상을 보여 주었다. 식사의 질을 살펴본 결과에서도 가장 NAR이 낮은 영양소는 남녀 모두 칼슘이었으며 영양밀도 지수 (INQ)의 결과 남학생은 엽산, Vit C, 칼슘이, 여학생은 엽산, Vit C, 칼슘, 철이 1보다 낮았다. 여학생의 경우 저 신체 활동군이 30% 이상이나 되었으나 평균 열량섭취는 필요추정량의 80.1%밖에 섭취하고 있지 않았다. 또한 평균 BMI는 정상이고 체지방율은 평균 28% 이상으로 높은 편에 속해 최근 논란화 되고 있는 마른비만의 문제를 보이고 있었다. 이와 같은 생활은 비타민과 무기질 등의 섭취 불균형으로 인한 각종 질병을 초래할 수 있고, 낮은 기초대사량으로 인하여 나이가 들어감에 따라 비만이 될 확률이 높아질 수 있다. 그러므로, 신체활동의 증가를 동반한 올바른 식습관과 정확한 영양지식을 바탕으로 한 식사섭취를 통해 건강한 생활을 유지할 수 있도록 영양교육이 더욱 활성화 되어야겠다.
