Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to estimate total sugar intake and sugar intake-related dietary habit and nutrient intake of elementary school students. Methods: Subjects included 701 elementary school students (351 boys and 350 girls) residing in Jeju. The research analyzed a sample and was carried out using the 24 hour recall method and one day consumption of total sugar. Results: The average daily total sugar intake was 55.3 g (male 53.1 g, female 57.6 g). Total sugar intake per meal was 6.3 g (11.4%) from breakfast, 6.9 g (12.5%) from lunch, and 7.2 g (13.0%) from dinner, 34.9 g (63.1%). Major food groups of total sugar were milks (17.04 g), grains and their products (12.79 g), fruits and their products (9.40 g), and sugars and sweets (7.30 g). In analysis of the amount of total sugar consumption from several recipes, much was taken in from dessert and snacks such as dairy products (15.08 g), bread and snacks (6.4 g), beverages (5.5 g), fruits (5.1 g), and ice cakes (4.8 g). Total sugar consumption was high for rices and side dishes such as noodles (5.1 g), stir-fried foods (2.3 g), fried foods (1.4 g), cooked rice with seasoning (1.4 g), and hard-boiled foods (1.1 g). In comparison of total sugar consumption for sugar sources, daily intake of natural sugar, added sugar, and natural and added sugar were 25.8 g, 23.3 g, and 6.2 g, respectively. High sugar intake group, which was over 20% of the energy from total sugar intakes, consumed significantly less Fe, Zn, and niacin than the low sugar intake group, which was below 20%. Conclusion: Total sugar intake of fifth graders of elementary schools on Jeju Island was 55.4 g/day, and it was usually intake from snacks. Therefore, elementary school students need nutritional education for proper selection of better snacks and for reduction of dietary sugar intake.

본 연구는 제주지역 초등학교 5학년 학생 701명을 대상으로 2009년 4월부터 6월까지 24시간 회상법을 이용하여 1일 식이조사를 통한 총당류 섭취량을 추정하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 조사대상자의 1일 열량섭취량은 1,629.8 kcal, 1일 총 당류섭취량은 남학생 53.1 g, 여학생 57.6 g으로 남녀 평균 55.3 g이었다. 2. 끼니별 1일 총당류섭취량은 간식에서 34.9 g (63.1%)으로 가장 많이 섭취하였으며, 아침, 점심, 저녁 식사에서 섭취하는 양은 각각 6.3 g, 6.9 g, 7.2 g이었다. 3. 식품군별로는 우유류 (17.04 g), 곡류 (12.79 g), 과일류 (9.40 g), 당류 (7.30 g)에서 섭취하는 당 함량이 높았다. 4. 조리법별 총당류 섭취량은 유제품류 (15.08 g), 빵 과자류 (6.4 g), 음료류 (5.5 g), 과일류 (5.1 g), 빙과류 (4.8 g)의 순이었고, 주식과 부식류에서는 면류 (5.1 g), 볶음류 (2.3 g), 튀김류 (1.4 g), 일품요리류 (1.4 g), 조림류 (1.1 g)의 순이었다. 후식류에서 서당 섭취량이 높은 음식은 빵 과자류 (4.1 g, 6.4 g), 음료류 (2.5 g, 1.4 g), 빙과류 (3.4 g, 4.4 g)이었다. 주식과 부식류에서 서당 섭취량이 높은 음식은 면류 (2.0 g, 4.1 g), 볶음류 (1.0 g, 1.1 g) 등 이었다. 5. 1일 총당류섭취량 중 천연당은 25.8 g, 첨가당은 23.3 g, 혼합당은 6.2 g으로 1일 총당류 섭취량의 42.1%가 첨가당에서 섭취되었다. 6. 총열량섭취량 중 당류에서 얻어지는 열량비율이 20% 이상인 고당류섭취군이 20% 미만 저당류섭취군에 비해 철분, 아연, 니아신 섭취가 유의적으로 더 낮았다. 7. 단맛선호군은 단맛저선호군보다 열량, 탄수화물 섭취량, 그리고 총당류섭취량이 유의적으로 높았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 제주지역 초등학교 5학년 남녀학생들의 총당류섭취량은 1일 평균 55.4 g으로, 주로 간식에서 섭취하는 비율이 높았다. 따라서 초등학생들의 총 당류 섭취량 통제를 위해서는 올바른 간식 선택과 당 저감화 관련 영양교육이 필요하다고 사료된다.
