Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the sodium and sugar reduction practices of the Samsam foodservice project of Daegu, in comparison with that of general foodservices in Daegu. Methods: A survey was conducted on 80 Samsam foodservice workers and 80 general foodservice workers from Sep. to Oct. 2020. We compared each worker's taste preferences, stage of behavior change and dietary behavior regarding sodium and sugar, and each foodservice's practices regarding sodium and sugar reduction. Results: There was no significant difference between the salty taste and sweet taste preferences between the workers at the Samsam foodservices and those at the general foodservices. The percentage of foodservice workers in action or maintenance stage of behavior change for eating less salty was higher in the Samsam foodservices than in the general foodservices (P < 0.05). In addition, regarding the degree of saltiness and sweetness of meals, the workers at the general foodservices perceived their meals to be saltier (P < 0.001) and sweeter (P < 0.01) than the workers at Samsam foodservices. The workers at Samsam foodservices had fewer salty dietary behaviors compared to the workers at general foodservices (P < 0.01). The sodium reduction practice was significantly higher in the Samsam foodservices than the general foodservices (P < 0.001), especially in "efforts to make the food as bland as possible overall" (P < 0.001), and "serving less soup and stew" (P < 0.001). The sugar reduction practice too was significantly higher in the Samsam foodservices than the general foodservices (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The Samsam foodservices were shown to be better in the practice of sodium and sugar reduction compared to general foodservices. Therefore, it is necessary to provide continuous and practical support and incentives at the national level to expand the sodium and sugar reduction practices in foodservices.

본 연구는 대구시 삼삼급식소 종사자 80명, 일반급식소 종사자 80명의 총 160명을 대상으로 2020년 9월부터 10월까지 급식소별 종사자의 짠맛과 단맛 선호도, 급식 맛 인식도, 행동변화단계, 식행동과 급식소의 나트륨 및 당류 저감화 실천도를 비교·분석하였다. 1. 조사대상자의 연령은 삼삼급식소 종사자가 일반급식소 종사자보다 50대 이상의 비율이 높았으며, 근무처는 삼삼급식소는 병원(43.8%)과 관공서(42.5%)의 비율이 높았고, 일반급식소는 학교(55.0%)와 산업체(31.3%)의 비율이 높았으나, 직위와근무경력은 두 급식소 간 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2. 짠맛과 단맛 선호도는 삼삼급식소 종사자와 일반급식소 종사자 간 유의한 차이가 없었으나 싱겁게 먹기를 실천하거나 유지하는 단계에 있는 종사자의 비율은 더 높았다. 또한 급식의 짠맛과 단맛 정도는 삼삼급식소 종사자보다 일반급식소 종사자가 더 짜고, 더 달게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 짜게 먹는 식행동 조사결과, 삼삼급식소 종사자는 일반급식소 종사자에 비해 '국이나 국수류의 국물을 남김없이 먹는다'는 식행동 점수가 낮았으나, 당류에 관한 식행동은 두 급식소 종사자 간 유의한 차이는 없었다. 4. 나트륨 저감화 실천도는 일반급식소보다 삼삼급식소에서 높은 것으로 나타났다. 두 급식소 간 실천도에서 특히 차이가 큰 항목은 '음식의 간을 전반적으로 싱겁게 하려고 노력하기', '국·찌개의 국물 양을 적게 제공하기', '가공완제품을 사용하기보다 직접 조리하기', '양념해서 오래 재워두지 않고 제공 직전 양념하기', '양념의 짠맛을 줄이고 단맛, 신맛 추가하기', '김치양을 적게 제공하기', '소금, 장류 줄이고 천연조미료 사용하기' 등이었다. 5. 급식소의 당류 저감화 실천도는 삼삼급식소가 일반급식소보다 높았다. 특히 '한 끼 양념과 소스의 종류를 2가지 이하로 식단 구성하기', '첨가당 함량이 높은 식재료 많이 구매하지 않기', '양념 대신 식재료 본연의 맛을 살려 조리하기', '첨가당 함량 높은 식재료 사용 줄이기', '소스를 버무리지 않고 직접 찍어 먹도록 별도 제공하기' 항목에서 삼삼급식소가 일반급식소에 비하여 실천도가 유의하게 높았다. 이상의 결과, 삼삼급식소는 일반급식소에 비하여 급식의 나트륨 저감화 실천도가 높았을 뿐 아니라 당류 저감화 실천도도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 단체급식소의 나트륨 및 당류 저감화를 보다 확대하고 정착하기 위해서 국가 차원의 지원과 인센티브를 지속적으로 제공하는 것이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
