초록

본 연구는 초등학교 고학년 어린이에서 어린이 NQ와 어린이와 어머니 식생활지침 실천도가 어떤지, 이들 간에 어떠한 상관관계가 있는지 또한 어린이와 어머니의 어떤 특성이 이들에 영향을 끼치는지 알아보고자 광주광역시 소재 초등학교 4~6학년 어린이 281명을 대상으로 실시되었으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 조사대상 어린이의 NQ는 $66.8{\pm}14.2$로 보통 (3등급)에 해당하였고, 절제와 다양요인 점수는 우수 (2등급)이었으나 규칙, 실천 및 균형요인 점수는 보통 (3등급)이었다. 어린이 NQ는 학년별, 성별 및 체중군별로 다르지 않았다. 그러나 몇몇 요인의 점수는 다소 차이를 보였는바, 학년별로 절제와 규칙요인의 점수가 달랐으나 일관성은 없었으며, 여자 어린이가 남자 어린이에 비해 규칙요인 점수가 높았고, 과체중군이 기타 체중군에 비해 절제요인 점수가 높았다. 한편 어머니의 일반사항에 따라 어린이 NQ는 상당한 차이를 나타냈는데, 비취업 상태인 경우 취업상태에 비해 어린이 NQ와 균형요인 점수가 높았고, 연령이 40대 이상이면 40대 미만에 비해 다양요인 점수가 높았으며, 학력이 대졸 이상이면 고등학교 졸 이하에 비해 규칙요인 점수가 높았고, 이외에 가정의 월수입이 400만 원 미만이면 400만원 이상에 비해 절제요인 점수가 높았다. 어린이의 식생활지침 실천도는 $78.8{\pm}10.5$로 양호인 편이었으며, 어머니가 비취업상태인 경우 취업상태인 경우보다 높았다. 어머니의 식생활지침 실천도는 $80.6{\pm}9.4$로 양호했으며, 비취업상태의 어머니가 취업상태인 경우보다 또한 연령이 40대 이상인 어머니가 40대 미만인 경우보다 높았다. 어린이 NQ는 어린이 자신의 식생활지침 실천도와는 물론 어머니의 식생활지침 실천도와도 유의적인 양의 상관성을 보였으며, 어린이와 어머니의 식생활지침 실천도 간에도 유의한 양의 관련성이 있었다. 이러한 본 연구결과는 초등학교 고학년 어린이의 식생활이 어머니의 영향을 크게 받는다는 점을 시사한다. 따라서 어린이의 식생활을 개선하기 위해서는 어린이를 대상으로 한 영양교육은 물론 어머니를 대상으로 한 식생활 교육도 필요하다는 점을 알려준다. 구체적으로 어린이에게는 콩이나 콩 제품의 영양적 우수성, 가공식품을 살 때 영양성분 등 식품표시 확인, 우유 섭취의 필요성, 짠 음식, 단 음식, 기름진 음식의 섭취 제한, 표준체중 알기 및 TV 시청과 컴퓨터 게임 시간 제한하기 등에 관한 내용을 강조해야 할 필요성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 어머니의 경우는 특히 취업상태이거나, 비교적 젊거나, 학력이 낮거나, 가족의 월수입이 높은 가정의 어머니에 초점을 맞추어 다양한 채소 섭취하기, 간식으로 유제품 섭취하기, 신체 활동량 늘리기와 함께 어린이가 나타낸 문제점에 관한 내용을 다룰 필요성이 있음을 알려주었다. 본 연구에서 어머니의 취업 여부와 연령, 학력 및 가정의 월수입에 따라 어린이 NQ는 물론 식생활지침 실천도가 유의적인 차이를 보이는 점이 확인되었으나, 조사대상자의 수가 많지 않았고, 광주광역시 소재 1개교에 국한되었으며 또한 고학년만을 대상으로 삼았다는 제한점이 있으므로, 앞으로 보다 큰 규모의 체계적인 연구를 통해 이러한 요인들이 어린이 NQ 및 어린이와 어머니의 식생활지침 실천도에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지 규명할 필요성이 있다고 생각된다. 본 연구결과가 어린이와 어머니에게 어떠한 내용의 영양교육이 필요한지를 알리고, 어린이들이 올바른 식습관을 실천하고 또한 어머니들이 자신과 자녀의 식생활을 바람직하게 관리하도록 지도하고 교육하는데 있어 기초자료로 활용됨으로써 어린이 NQ를 높이는데 기여할 수 있기를 바란다.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to investigate children's Nutrition Quotient (NQ) and the degree of keeping the Dietary Guidelines of children and their mothers and to further examine the relationships between children and mothers. Methods: The subjects were 281 children from 4th to 6th grade in an elementary school located in Gwangju and their mothers. Results: NQ of the children was $66.8{\pm}14.2$, which was in the third (medium) grade. Among the five factors, the scores for Moderation and Diversity were in the second (high) grade, but those for Regularity, Practice, and Balance were in the third grade. Children of non-working mothers had significantly higher scores for NQ and Balance than those of working mothers. Children of mothers with age over 40 had a significantly higher score on Diversity than those with mothers under age 40. Children of mothers with higher education showed higher score for Regularity than those with lower education. Children from high-income families had higher score for Moderation. The score for children keeping the Dietary Guidelines was $78.8{\pm}10.5$ and children of non-working mothers showed higher score than those of working mothers. The score for mothers practicing the Dietary Guidelines was $80.6{\pm}9.4$ and non-working mothers and mothers with age over 40 had higher score. Children's NQ showed significant correlation with the score for keeping the Dietary Guidelines for children (r = 0.789, p < 0.001) and also with that of mothers (r = 0.235, p < 0.001). Conclusion: These results show that NQ of elementary school children in Gwangju is in the medium grade, the degree of practicing the Dietary Guidelines for children is pretty fair, and these factors are influenced by their mother's socioeconomic characteristics such as employment, age, education, and family income.
