초록

한국인을 위한 식생활지침은 건강한 식생활을 위한 가이드로 활용되는데, 식생활지침에 대한 세부 항목이 제시되지 않아서 지침에 대한 실천도를 자세히 평가하기는 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구는 식생활지침 실천도를 평가할 수 있는 세부 항목들을 선별하여 지침 실천도를 평가하는 평가도구를 만들고자 수행되었다. 노인의 식생활지침 실천 평가도구 개발을 위하여 문헌검토와 전문가 자문을 거쳐 총 35개의 평가 후보 항목을 추출하고, 전국단위 5개 지역의 남녀 노인 800명 (남 400명, 여 400명)을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하였다. 식생활지침의 세 가지 영역별로 후보 항목에 대한 탐색적 요인분석으로 평가도구에 사용될 항목을 선별하고, 확인적 요인분석을 수행하여 구성타당도를 검증하였다. 구조방정식 모형의 경로계수를 활용하여 항목별 가중치를 부여하여 식생활지침 실천 점수를 계산하고, 전국조사 결과를 바탕으로 평가도구의 등급 체계를 마련하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 노인 식생활지침 실천 평가도구는 총 28개 항목으로 식품섭취 영역 13항목, 식생활습관 영역 7항목, 환경을 생각하는 식생활 문화 영역 8항목으로 구성되었다. 식품섭취 영역에는 신선 생채소, 황색채소, 생과일, 콩·견과류, 생선·해산물, 고기·달걀 섭취, 우유·유제품, 잡곡 섭취, 물, 다양한 식품군 섭취, 육류 가시지방 제거, 단 음료, 염장 식품 섭취 항목이 포함되었고, 식생활습관 영역에는 건강체중 유지, 활동량 증가 노력, 운동, 과식정도, 과음빈도, 아침식사 빈도, 식사의 규칙성 항목이 포함되었다. 환경을 생각하는 식생활문화 영역에는 조리 및 음식 먹기 전 손 씻기, 유통기한 (소비기한) 확인, 개인 접시에 덜어 먹기 실천, 냉장고에 보관한 음식 덜어 먹기, 제철음식 섭취, 지역 농산물 이용, 식품 원산지 확인, 음식물 쓰레기 줄이기가 포함되었다. 전국설문조사 노인 (n = 800)의 식생활지침 실천 평균 점수는 56.9점이었고, 식품섭취 영역 49.8점, 식생활습관 영역 63.2점 그리고 식생활문화 영역은 58.6점이었다. 식생활지침 실천 점수는 기 개발된 노인 영양지수 및 식품정보이해력 점수와도 유의한 상관성을 보여서 식생활지침 실천 평가 도구가 식품섭취와 식행동 뿐만 아니라 지속가능한 식생활 실천 부분도 잘 반영한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 앞으로 노인 맞춤형 식생활지침 실천 평가 도구가 노인들의 식품섭취, 식생활습관 및 식생활문화 영역를 종합적으로 평가하는 쉽고 간편한 검색 평가 도구로 활발하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a comprehensive tool for assessing dietary guideline adherence among older Korean adults, focusing on the domains of food and nutrient intake, eating habits, and dietary culture. Methods: Candidate items were selected through a literature search and expert advice. The degree of adherence to dietary guidelines was then evaluated through a face-to-face survey conducted on 800 elderly individuals across five nationwide regions. The items for dietary guideline adherence evaluation tool were selected through exploratory factor analysis of the candidate items in each of the three areas of the dietary guidelines, and construct validity was verified by performing confirmatory factor analysis. Using the path coefficient of the structural equation model, weights were assigned to each area and item to calculate the dietary guideline adherence score. A rating system for the evaluation tool was established based on national survey results. Results: A total of twenty-eight items were selected for evaluating dietary guideline adherence among the elderly. Thirteen items related to food intake, seven to eating habits, and eight to dietary culture. The average score for dietary guideline adherence was 56.9 points, with 49.8 points in the food intake area, 63.2 points in the eating habits area, and 58.6 points in the dietary culture area. Statistically significant correlations were found between dietary guideline adherence scores and food literacy (r = 0.679) and nutrition quotient scores (r = 0.750). Conclusion: The developed evaluation tool for dietary guideline adherence among Korean older adults can be used as a simple and effective instrument for comprehensively assessing their food and nutrient intake, dietary habits, and dietary culture.
