울산지역 유아의 영양 상태에 관한 연구

Abstract

본 연구는 울산에 거주하는 학령 전 어린이 142명을 대상으로 식습관과 식행동에 관하여 조사하였다. 조사대상 어린이는 남아 72명, 여아 70명으로 연령분포는 2세에서 7세 이었으며 규칙적인 식사시간을 지키는 남아가 48.6%이고, 여아는 42.9%였다. 조사대상자의 식습관에 있어서는 남아가 '좋은 편(13.9%)', '보통(58.3%)', '나쁜 편(27.8%)'으로 나타났고, 여아의 경우는 '좋은 편(11.4%)', '보통(62.9%)', '나쁜 편(25.7%)'으로 나타났다. 식습관 점수는 '보통'으로 평가되었고 남녀간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 조사대상자들의 긍정적인식행동 점수는 남아의 경우, '좋은 편(15.3%)', '보통(76.4%)', '나쁜 편(8.3%)' 이고, 여아는 '좋은 편(15.7%)', '보통(74.3%)', '나쁜 편(10.0%)'로 나타났다. 조사대상자들의 부정적인 식행동 점수는 남아의 경우, '나쁜 식행동이 적은 편(23.6%)', '보통(76.4%)', '나쁜 식행동이 많은 편(0.0%)'이고, 여아는 '나쁜 식행동이 적은 편(21.4%)', '보통(75.7%)', '나쁜 식행동이 많은 편(2.9%)'으로 나타났다. 조사대상자들의 식행동 총점은 '보통'으로 평가되었고, 남녀간의 유의적인(p<0.001) 차이를 나타내었다. 긍정적인 식행동과 식습관 간에는 유의적인 (p<0.05, p<0.001) 양의 상잔성이 있었고, 부정적인 식행동과 식습관 간에는 유의적인 ((p<0.05, p<0.001) 응의 상관성이 있었다 본 연구의 결과는 학령전 어린이에게 적용할 메뉴를 계획하는 프로그램과 영양교육의 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

The nutritional status of 142 preschool children in Ulsan area was surveyed. A survey was conducted on parents using lluestionnaires including general characteristics, subjective symptoms, flood habit and eating behavior The children involved in this study were 72 boys and 70 girls, aged 2 to 7 years old. 48.6% in boys and 42.9% in girls were on'regular'meal times, The food habit score of the subjects was divided into Poor(27.8%), fair(58.3%) and good(13.9%) in boys, poor(25.7%), fair(62.9%) and good(11.4%) in girls. The positive eating behavior score of the subjects was divided into poor(8.3%), fair(76.4%) and good(15.3%) in boys, poor(10.0%), fair(74.3%) and good(15.7%) in girls. The negative eating behavior score of the subjects was divided into poor(0.0%), fair(76.4%) and good(23.6%) in boys, poor(2.9%), fair(75.7%) and good(21.4%) in girls. The relation of the flood habit and positive eating behavior is significantly(p<0.05, p<0.001) positive correlation and the relation of the food habit and negative eating behavior is significantly(p<0.05, p<0.001) negative correlation. The results of this study indicate that nutrition education and menu planning program should be applied to preschool children.
