The purpose of this study was to investigate consumption of health functional food (HFF) and dietary habits, nutrient intake, and dietary quality by HFF consumption in college students. The subjects of this study included 283 college students (179 males and 104 females) in Incheon metropolitan city. The cross-sectional study was conducted using self-reported questionnaires, including kinds of HFF consumed, motivation for purchase, reason for consumption, effect after consumption, reason for no consumption, and dietary habits. A three-day recall method was used for dietary assessment. Dietary qualities were assessed using nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR), mean adequacy ratio (MAR), and nutrient density (ND) values. The percentage of HFF consumption was 40.2% in males and 50.0% in females. The main kinds of HFF consumed by males were vitamins and minerals, red ginseng, protein, and omega-3 fatty acid, in that order. HFF consumed by females were vitamins and minerals, red ginseng, omega-3 fatty acid, and individually approved functional ingredients, in that order. The main motivation for purchase of HFF was recommendation of family and relatives (males 76.4% and females 78.8%). The main reason for consumption of HFF was health promotion (males 67.7% and females 63.5%) and the main reason for no consumption of HFF was not having a health problem (males 49.5% and females 46.2%). The dietary habit score for 'eat the milk or dairy product everyday' (p < 0.05) in females was significantly higher in HFF consumers, compared to HFF non-consumers. In males, the ND of vitamin B1 (p < 0.05) in HFF consumers was significantly higher compared to HFF non-consumers. In females, HFF consumers showed a significantly higher ND of vitamin B2 (p < 0.05) and Ca (p < 0.01), compared to HFF non-consumers. Regardless of HFF consumption, the NAR of vitamin C, folic acid, and Ca was less than 0.7.

본 연구에서는 초등학생들을 영아기 영양법에 따라 모유영양군, 인공영양군, 혼합영양군으로 분류하여 영아기 영양법에 따른 식습관과 영양 섭취 상태를 비교 분석함으로써 영아기 영양법이 이후의 식사법에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 전체 조사대상자의 평균 연령은 9.7세였으며, 신장, 체중, 체질량지수는 각각 139.0 cm, 34.6 kg, $17.8kg/m^2$로 영아기 영양법에 따른 군간 유의한 차이가 없었다. 영아기 영양방법에 대해 조사한 결과 초유를 섭취한 비율은 모유영양군 97.2%, 혼합영양군 92.7%로 인공영양군의 40.9%보다 유의하게 높았으며(P<0.001), 이유 시기 및 첫 이유 식품에서 세 군간 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 또한 식습관 조사 결과 간식을 전혀 먹지 않는다는 비율은 모유영양군 10.0%, 인공영양군 9.4%로 혼합영양군의 3.8%보다 유의하게 높았으며(P<0.05), 식사 및 외식빈도 등은 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 총 식습관 점수와 에너지 및 영양소 섭취량은 영아기 영양법에 따른 군간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 연구 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 성장기 아동에서 영아기 영양법에 따라 간식섭취 빈도, 우유 유제품 및 채소 섭취 정도 등과 같은 식습관이 다른 것으로 나타났으며, 추후 영아기 영양법에 따른 성장, 건강, 식습관 및 식사섭취상태 등에 대한 장기적인 추적조사가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigated the general information, unbalanced diet, and dietary habits of 86 children in Daegu. The research was undertaken to analyze the current state of diet and dietary habits of children, and to provide basic data for nutrition education. The results reveal that younger children have a more unbalanced diet. Children dislike side-dishes the most. Furthermore, due to the longer time taken to consume food, parents persuade children to eat quickly. Children were also determined to have a high intake of foods and drinks containing sugar; beverages containing sugar are consumed 1-2 times a week by 5-year-olds, and once daily by 6- and 7-year-olds. The results of this study can be applied to provide basic data for nutritional education, and assist in the development of dietary programs for young children.

These categories were the faithfulness of diet, the health-directed dietary practices, the application of health information, the application of information about food and nutrition, the sincerity to meal preparation, and dietary habits. The 400 mothers selected randomly from Wonju area were surveyed. The results obtained from the study were summarized as follows. Weaning was implemented earlier by the group with better education career and with the exact knowledge of weaning.

The health condition of the infants was influenced by mother's will to carry out the health information rather than infant feeding methods and weaning foods used. Mothers who perceived the importance of diet for health and consumed more milk had healthier babies, and their dietary habits were more favorable. The subjects who self-recognized the meaning of weaning and who believed that earlier weaning was good for baby or delayed weaning was the cause of anemia and poor appetite, took advantage of the information about food and nutrition as well as prefered the health-directed dietary practices.
