Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the dietary behaviors and snack intake between Korean and Chinese university students. The total number of participants was 520, with 267 Korean college students in Seoul and 253 Chinese college students in Shandong Province. According to the results, the most frequent place of residence was their own house for Korean students and the dormitory for Chinese students. As for healthy life behavior, Chinese university students as compared to Korean students showed a higher tendency of exercising, and lower levels of drinking, smoking, and caffeine intake. The frequency of snack intake was about 1 to 3 times a week for both Korean and Chinese college students, and the frequency of night eating was higher among Korean students than among Chinese students. The overall dietary evaluation score was higher for Chinese students than for Korean students. This study compared the overall eating habits of Korean and Chinese college students and tried to provide useful basic data for the development of educational programs that can form desirable eating habits for the health of college students in both countries.

본 연구에서는 한국과 중국 대학생의 식행동 및 간식 섭취 실태를 비교하고자 한국 서울에 소재 대학 재학생 267명, 중국 산동성 소재 대학 재학생 253명 총 520명을 대상으로 건강 생활습관, 식행동, 간식 및 야식 섭취실태, 식생활 평가를 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과 거주 형태에서 한국 대학생은 자택, 중국 대학생은 기숙사가 가장 높았다. 건강 생활습관은 중국 대학생이 한국 대학생보다 운동 횟수는 높고, 음주, 흡연 및 카페인 섭취는 낮은 경향이었다. 식행동은 한국 대학생이 중국 대학생보다 아침을 안 먹는 경향이었고, 한국과 중국 대학생 모두 시간이 없어서 아침을 결식하는 경우가 높았다. 간식 섭취 빈도는 한국과 중국 대학생 모두 주 1~3회 정도였고, 섭취이유로 한국 대학생은 배가 고파서, 중국 대학생은 습관적으로 섭취하는 경향으로 나타났다. 야식 섭취 빈도는 한국 대학생이 중국 대학생보다 높았고, 배가 고파서 야식을 섭취하는 경향으로 나타났다. 전반적인 식생활 평가 점수는 한국 대학생보다 중국 대학생이 높았다. 따라서 본 연구는 한국 대학생과 중국 대학생의 전반적인 식생활을 비교하였고, 향후 양국 대학생의 건강을 위한 바람직한 식습관을 형성할 수 있는 교육프로그램 개발에 유용한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다.
