초록

본 논문에서는 탈북 성인 남녀의 평균 신장을 남한의 것과 비교 검토함으로써 영양 환경의 질이 향상되면 남녀 간 신장의 성적이형성 (SSD, Stature Sexual Dimorphism)이 커질 것이라는 영양환경 가설을 검증하였다. 연구대상 선정은 두 단계에 걸쳐 이루어졌다. 우선, 1997년부터 2007년 4월까지 남한에 입국하여 신체를 계측한 탈북자 중에서 탈북 당시 연령이 최소 만 20세 이상이어서 성인신장을 북한에서 도달한 것으로 추정할 수 있는 사람들을 일차 표본으로 선정하였다. 이 일차 표본 중에서 1955년에서 1959년 사이에 출생한 사람들과 1980년에서 1984년 사이에 출생한 사람들을 최종 선정하여 탈북자들 사이의 세대 간 변화를 비교하였다. 남북한 비교를 위해서는 남한의 Size Korea 2004 자료를 이용하였다. Size Korea 2004 자료에서 만20세 이상 성인으로서 탈북자 표본과 같은 시기 즉, 1955년에서 1959년 사이 그리고 1980년에서 1984년 사이에 출생한 사람들의 SSD를 계산하여 탈북자 자료와 비교하였다. SSD의 크기 변화를 통계적으로 검증하기 위해서는 Greene (1989)의 검증법을 이용하였다. 조사 결과, 탈북자들 사이에서는 한국전쟁 종전 직후 출생한 세대와 1980년대에 출생한 세대 사이에 평균 신장의 증가가 관찰되지 않았고 신장 성적이형성의 크기에도 변화가 없었다. 반면에 남한에서는 두 세대 사이에 평균 신장의 확연한 증가가 있었는데 남녀 중에서도 남성 집단의 평균신장 증가가 더욱 두드러진 결과로 SSD도 증가하였다. 즉 1980년대 출생자들이 한국전쟁 종전 직후인 1955~59년 사이에 출생한 사람들보다 확연히 큰 SSD를 보여주었다. 이는 영양 환경의 질이 향상되면 남성과 여성 사이의 성적 이형성이 커지는 경향이 나타날 것이라는 영양환경 가설을 뒷받침하는 결과이다.

We tested the hypothesis that an improved nutritional environment increases the size of stature sexual dimorphism (SSD) by comparing mean height changes in North and South Korean adults. For the first round of sampling, those North Korean refugees who had reached the age of 20 years before leaving North Korea were selected for the study. Then, two birth-year cohorts born between 1955 and 1959 and between 1980 and 1984 were finally selected for the analysis (383 males and 529 females). North Korean refugee mean height data were compared to the mean height of the comparable South Korean population derived from 2004 Korean size results (373 males and 429 females). The results of the analysis showed that there was no increase in mean height among the refugees, either in males or females, between the two birth-year cohorts. As a result, no change in SSD was observed between the two birth-year cohorts. In contrast, South Koreans showed a remarkable increase in height, with males having a greater increase during the corresponding 25 years. Consequently, South Korean SSD increased significantly with time. These results support the hypothesis that improved nutritional quality increases SSD.
