Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrition education based on ubiquitous healthcare (u-health) service on changes in dietary habits, nutrition intake, and risk factors for metabolic syndrome in male workers. In total, 72 male office workers with at least three risk factors of the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III were recruited as subjects. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical analyses were conducted on all subjects. Dietary habits and nutrient intake were determined by a questionnaire using the 24-hour dietary recall method before and after nutrition education. Subjects measured their body composition, blood pressure, and physical activity more than once per week during the 12 weeks using the u-health care equipment and sent these data to a central database system using a personal computer. Individual nutrition counseling was provided four times on the first, fourth, eight, and twelfth weeks. The results showed significant decreases in abdominal circumference, body fat (%), diastolic blood pressure, serum triglycerides, and serum total cholesterol during the 12 weeks. Subjects with more than 12 measurements showed significant reductions in abdominal circumference, body fat (%), serum triglyceride, and serum total cholesterol. Mean intake of dietary fiber, animal calcium, potassium, vitamin C, and folic acid after nutrition education were higher than those before nutrition education. Participants showed significant increases in the frequencies of consuming protein foods (meat, fish, eggs, beans, tofu, etc.) and vegetables. In conclusion, nutrition education through the u-health service resulted in positive effects on the risk factors for metabolic syndrome, nutrient intake, and dietary habits.

본 연구는 u-Health 기반 장비를 활용한 영양교육이 식습관 변화, 영양소 섭취, 대사증후군 위험 인자에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하는 목적으로 수행되었다. 1) 연구 대상자는 서울 소재 사업장에 근무하는 직장인 30~50대의 청장년층의 남성으로 구성되었으며, 대부분이 기혼, 대학이상학력의 고학력자이고, 높은 흡연율과 음주율을 나타냈다. 평소 규칙적인 운동 보다는 일상생활에서 활동량이 더 높았다. 2) 영양교육 전 후에 따른 신체계측 및 혈액성분의 결과는 복부둘레, 중성지방, 이완기 혈압, 중성지방과 체지방률, 총 콜레스테롤이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 3) 측정 횟수에 따른 신체계측 및 혈액성분 결과는 측정횟수 12회 이상인 그룹에서 복부둘레와 중성지방이 유의적으로 감소하였고, 체지방률과 총콜레스테롤도 유의적으로 감소하였다. 4) 영양교육 전 후에 따른 영양소섭취 상태 및 식습관 변화는 열량의 섭취가 감소하는 경향에도 불구하고 영양교육 전보다 교육 후 식이섬유, 동물성칼슘, 칼륨, 비타민C, 엽산이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 식습관 변화에서는 '육류, 생선, 달걀, 콩, 두부 등으로 된 음식을 매일 3~4회 먹는다.'와 '김치 이외의 채소를 식사할 때 마다 먹는다.'의 문항이 영양교육 전보다 영양교육 후 유의적으로 증가하여 긍정적인 변화를 보였다. 결론적으로 u-Health 기반 장비를 활용한 영양교육이 대사 증후군 위험요인 뿐만 아니라 식습관에서 또한 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 교육의 효과에 있어서 대상자 스스로의 동기부여가 건강의 개선에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과 대사증후군 대상자의 식습관 및 생활습관 개선을 위해 영양교육은 필수적이며, 추후 지속적인 동기부여를 위해서는 u-Health 기반 장비를 활용한 다양한 컨텐츠 개발과 이에 맞춘 체계적인 영양교육 프로그램의 연구가 장기적인 의료비의 절감, 삶의 질 향상을 위한 맞춤형 영양관리로 발전하도록 지속적으로 진행되어야 할 것이라고 사료된다.
