Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate dietary habits related to weight reduction and snack intake habits of $4^{th}$ to $5^{th}$ grade elementary students located in Jeju-si, Jeju, South Korea. Methods: The $4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ grade elementary school students (total n = 234, equally matched numbers of normal weight children and overweight/obese children (n = 117/group)) were surveyed using a questionnaire and a 24-hour dietary recall method in Oct 2015. Results: The percentage of students who experienced reduced food intake to control weight was 26.3% in the normal weight group (NG) and 77.6% in the obese group (OG). Most frequently answered meal for reduced intake was snacks in the NG and dinner in the OG. Percentages of daily calorie intake among subjects were 17.2% for breakfast, 33.8% for lunch, 29.7% for dinner, and 19.3% for snacks. Frequency of snack intake was 2.1 times a week in NG and 1.6 times a week in OG, which showed a statistical difference between body weight groups. Types of snack foods were distinctly different depending on where children consumed them, although no difference was observed between NG and OG. In addition, snack intake level of low energy and nutrient-dense foods was significantly lower in the OG compared to the NG, whereas snack intake level of energy dense and low-nutritive foods was not different between the OG and NG. Conclusion: Taken together, snack intake level with consideration of frequency and amount of snack intake showed that children in the OG consumed significantly less low energy and nutrient-dense foods compared to the NG. Therefore, nutritional education for choosing healthy snack foods for children regardless of body weight status is crucial based on family-school links.

본 연구는 제주시 지역 일부 초등학교 4 5학년 비만아동 117명 (남자 70명, 여자 47명)과 정상체중아동 117명 (남자 70명, 여자 47명)을 대상으로 일반사항, 체중감량 관련 식행동, 간식 식습관을 조사하였으며, 더불어 24시간 회상법을 이용하여 식이섭취실태를 파악함으로써 초등학교 고학년 학생들의 간식섭취 및 균형 잡힌 영양소섭취를 위한 교육자료 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였으며, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 평균 신장, 체중 및 비만도는 각각 정상체중아동은 143.8 cm, 38.5 kg, -0.42%이며 비만아동은 147.5 cm, 56.6 kg, 35.4%로 모두 체중군에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었으나, 체중군별 열량 섭취량은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 하지만 조사대상자의 체중감량 관련 식행동에서 식사량 감소 경험 유무와 살찌는 음식임을 고려하여 섭취하는 비율은 체중군별 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 조사대상자의 총 열량 섭취 열량은 아침, 점심, 저녁, 간식이 각각 289.8 kcal, 569.0 kcal, 499.2 kcal, 325.1 kcal로, 끼니별 열량 섭취 비율은 17.2%, 33.8%, 29.7%, 19.3%로 나타났다. 특히 간식으로 섭취하는 열량은 체중군별 유의적 차이는 없었으나, 특정 간식 음식을 섭취한 아동만을 대상으로 분석하였을 때, 비만군이 정상체중군에 비해 사탕 초콜릿류를 유의적으로 더 많이 섭취하고 있었다. 성별과 체중군별로 간식을 섭취하는 이유로는 공통적으로 '배가 고파서'가 64.1%, '심심해서'는 12% 순으로 나타났다. 간식 섭취 횟수에서 일반 간식의 경우 정상체중군 (2.1회/주)이 비만군 (1.6회/주)보다 자주 섭취하는 것으로 나타났고, 학교나 학원 주변에서 섭취하는 간식의 경우에는 체중군별 차이 (1회/주)가 없었다. 일반 간식과 학교나 학원 주변 간식을 합한 총간식의 섭취 횟수는 정상체중군은 3.1회/주, 비만군은 2.6회/주로 나타났다. 일반 간식에서 자주 먹는 간식 음식은 과일 과일주스, 과자 사탕 초콜릿, 우유 요구르트 순으로 높게 나타났고, 학교나 학원 주변 간식에서는 김밥 삼각김밥 떡볶이 순대, 아이스크림, 과자 사탕 초콜릿의 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 체중군별 간식 선택 음식의 종류에는 유의적 차이가 없었다. 하지만 간식음식을 저열량 고영양 간식과 고열량 저영양 간식으로 구분하고, 간식 음식선택 여부와 섭취 횟수를 고려한 섭취 수준으로 비교하였을 때에는 비만군이 정상체중군보다 저열량 고영양 간식의 섭취수준이 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 본 제주의 일부 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생들은 체중군별로 비만군이 정상체중군에 비해 체중 감량을 위해 더 노력하지만, 비만군이 정상체중군보다 저열량 고영양 간식을 유의적으로 낮게 섭취하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 고열량 저영양의 부적절한 종류의 간식음식의 섭취는 하루 세끼 식사에 영향을 미치고, 영양 불균형을 초래할 수 있으므로 비만군 뿐만 아니라 정상체중군에서도 올바른 간식 선택 및 식행동 개선을 위한 영양교육이 필요하다고 사료된다. 균형 잡힌 하루 세끼 식사를 충분히 섭취한 후, 부족한 부분을 간식으로 보충할 수 있도록 영양적인 측면과 관련지어 간식 섭취에 대한 적절한 교육이 학교에서 뿐만 아니라 가정연계를 통해 체계적으로 전개되어야 하겠다.
