초록

목 적 : IDA로 진단된 영유아의 어머니를 대상으로 수유 방법과 이유 진행사항 등의 실태를 조사하였고, 설문지 답변을 통하여 어머니가 가지고 있는 이유식에 대한 지식을 알아보았고, 그들의 이유식 관련 지식과 실제 나타나는 현실과의 차이점을 분석하였다. 방 법 : 2006년 3월부터 2007년 5월까지 인하대병원 외래 또는 입원한 영유아 중 IDA로 진단 받은 6-40개월 환아 111명(남:여=1.6:1)의 어머니를 대상으로 이유 실태 조사 및 이유지식에 관한 설문조사를 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결 과 : 1) 혈액학적인 분포는 Hb는 $9.5{\pm}1.0g/dL$이었고, Hb 8 g/dL미만이 8.1%이었고, 9 g/dL 미만이 27.9%에 달하였다. MCV 70미만이 92명(82.8%)이었다. IDA가 분명한데도 페리틴 10 ng/dL 이상인 경우가 54명(48.6%)에 달하였다. 2) 이유식을 3개월 또는 그 이전에 이유식을 시작한 경우는 한 예도 없었고, 7개월 이후에 시작한 경우가 33.3%에 달하였다. 이유식의 평균 시작시기는 6.4 개월이었으며, 4-6개월에 시작한 경우(n=74)의 Hb은 $9.6{\pm}1.0g/dL$으로서, 7개월 이후에 시작한 경우(n=37)의 Hb $9.3{\pm}1.0g/dL$에 비하여 유의하게 높았다. 3) 이유식의 시작 시기가 늦을수록 Hb 수치가 낮게 나타났고, 생후 6개월까지 모유수유만 하고 이유식을 시작하지 않은 영유아들의 Hb 수치가 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 4) 처음 시도하는 이유식으로는 미음(82.6%), 과일즙(10.8%), 선식(4.5%) 등 순이었고, 주로 먹는 이유식의 종류는 야채죽(38.7%), 미음(36.9%), 과일즙(17.1%)의 순이었다. 주로 사용한 이유식은 집에서 만든 것이 87명(78.3%)이었고, 상품화된 이유식 사용은 7명(6.3%)이었다. 5) 어머니의 이유지식 점수는 대졸이상 그룹과 고졸 그룹 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 이유지식이 IDA중증도에 미치는 영향도 유의하지 않았다. 6) 이유식을 시도하여 4주 이내에 완성된 경우가 56명(50.4 %) 이었고, 나머지는 1개월 이상 걸렸으며, 3개월 이상 걸린 경우도 22명(20.0%)에 달하였다. 결 론 : 급성 감염이나 발열시에 페리틴 측정만으로 철결핍 및 IDA 진단을 내리기에는 한계가 있으며, 소구성 적혈구증 역시 IDA를 판정하는 중요한 지표가 될 수 있을 것이다. 많은 어머니가 이유지식이 부족하였고, 또한 상당한 이유지식을 가지고 있음에도 그 자녀에서 IDA가 발견되었으므로, 현재와 같은 이유식 방법을 지양하고, 이유식에 관한 교육 및 홍보를 강화한 좀더 개선된 방법이 모색되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose : Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is still one of the most common nutrient deficiency disorders, despite improvements in general health and nutrition. This study was designed to investigate the diagnostic values of hematological profiles, including the level of ferritin, and to evaluate the knowledge of mothers on weaning practices for infants and young children with IDA. Methods : This study was conducted on 111 infants and young children from six to 40 months of age with IDA. Their parents completed a questionnaire. IDA was defined as a level of hemoglobin <11.0 g/dL, the presence of microcytosis, a level of ferritin <10.0 ng/dL, transferrin saturation <15%, or an 1 g/dL increase in the level of hemoglobin after iron administration. The questionnaire made inquiries into their weaning practices. Results : In 111 infants and young children aged from six to 40 months, the average level of Hb was $9.5{\pm}1.0g/dL$. The prevalence of ferritin level (>10 ng/dL) was 48.6%, in spite of IDA. Seventy-four infants (66.7%) began to wean between four and six months, and 37 infants (33.3%) after seven months of age. The main food given after weaning was rice gruel. The weaning periods showed a significant relationship to the severity of anemia (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the severity of anemia in terms of the educational levels of the mothers. Fifty-five mothers (49.5%) gave a wrong answer to a questionnaire describing that breast-fed infants aged over four months need to be fed with iron-sufficient food. Of all mothers, 49.6% took one month or more to complete the weaning process and 20% took three months or more. Conclusion : Many infants and young children with IDA have been provided with non-iron fortified foods and inadequate weaning. To improve nutritional status, especially among infants with iron deficiencies, nutritional education for mothers with infants at the weaning age must be increased and related programs must be implemented effectively.
