Abstract

This study was intended to investigate food, exercise habits, perception of health status and the effects of nutrient intake of female college students. Food habits such as regularity of meal time, repast of breakfast, numbers of night snack per week and duration of meal were assessed via a self reporting questionnaire, and 24hrs recall method for nutrient intake was obtained from 155 female college students in Yangju-si. The mean height and weight of the subjects were $161.25{\pm}3.52cm$ and $52.26{\pm}4.52kg$, respectively. The average intakes of energy and nutrients were below the Korea recommended dietary allowance(RDA). Especially, The nutrient intakes(energy, protein, fat, fiber, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, sodium, potassium, vitamin B6, niacin, vitamin C, folate, vitamin E, cholesterol) of the group in which the regularity of meal time per week was 5~7 days was significantly higher than the group in which the regularity of meal time was < 3 days (p<0.005). The nutrient intakes influenced by the food habit such as the regularity of meal time, skipping breakfast, and the numbers of night snack per week but did not differ in accordance with the regular exercise habits and perception of health status. These findings suggest that nutritional education based on female college students' food habits(regularity of meal time, skipping breakfast and night snacks per week, and duration of meal) may be required to improve dietary variety. It is considered that the improvement in dietary habits will contribute to the improvement of nutrition.

본 연구에서는 대학생 시기의 올바른 건강관리가 성인기의 건강과 신체기능을 최적으로 유지하는 기초가 되고, 앞으로 임신, 분만, 수유 등을 대비해야 하는 가임기일 뿐만 아니라, 장차 가정과 사회의 식생활 관리자의 역할을 담당해야 하는 여대생을 대상으로 식습관과 운동습관 및 건강관련인식을 조사하고 이러한 지표가 영양섭취수준에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 여대생 155명을 대상으로 연령, 신장, 체중 등 일반적 특성과 식습관, 운동습관, 건강상태 인식에 관련된 문항으로 구성된 설문지를 이용하였고, 24시간 회상법을 이용하여 식이섭취 조사를 실시한 후 영양소 섭취량을 분석하였다. 대상자들의 일주일간 식사시간이 규칙적인 날의 횟수는 '5~6일'이 27.74%, '3~4일'이 59.35%, '1~2일'이 12.9%로 나타났고, 아침결식률에서는 거의 '매일 결식'하는 비율이 46.74%, '때때로 결식'하는 비율이 36.13%, '거의 결식을 하지 않는' 비율이 16.13%로 나타나 결식률이 높게 나타났다. 야식횟수는 '일주일에 2~3회'가 43.23%로 가장 높았고, '1회 미만'이 40.65%, '4회 이상'이 16.13%로 나타났고, 식사 소요시간은 '20분 미만'이 42.58%, '20~30분 사이'가 38.06%, '31분 이상'이 19.35%로 나타났다. 운동습관의 규칙성에서는 '규칙적으로 운동을 한다'가 29.7%이고, '운동을 전혀 안한다'가 70.32%로 나타났고, 건강상태에 대한 인식 조사에서는 '건강상태가 좋다'가 47.74%, '그저 그렇다'가 24.52%, '나쁘다'가 27.74%로 나타나 비교적 건강상태가 좋다고 인식하는 대상자가 비교적 높게 나타났다. 식습관에 따른 영양소 섭취량의 차이에서는 일주일에 식사 시간이 규칙적인 날이 많을수록 에너지, 단백질, 지방, 식이섬유소, 칼슘, 인, 철분, 나트륨, 칼륨, 비타민 $B_6$, 나이아신, 비타민C, 엽산, 비타민 E, 콜레스테롤을 유의적으로 많이 섭취하는 것으로 나타났고, 아침 결식 여부에 따른 영양소 섭취량의 차이는 일주일에 아침을 결식하는 날이 많을수록 아침식사를 거의 매일 하는 대상자보다 에너지, 단백질, 지방, 탄수화물, 식이섬유소, 칼슘, 인, 철, 나트륨, 칼륨, 아연, 비타민 A, 비타민 $B_6$, 비타민 C, 엽산, 비타민 E를 유의적으로 더 적게 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다. 일주일간 야식을 먹는 횟수에 대한 영양소 섭취량의 차이에서는 야식을 먹는 횟수가 많을수록 에너지, 단백질, 지방, 식이섬유소, 칼슘, 인, 철분, 칼륨, 비타민 $B_2$, 비타민 $B_6$, 비타민 C, 엽산, 비타민 E, 콜레스테롤을 유의적으로 많이 섭취하였으나 식사 속도에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 규칙적인 운동습관을 가진 대상자는 그렇지 않은 대상자보다 영양소 섭취량이 약간 높게 나타났으나 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았고, 건강상태 인식에 따른 영양소 섭취량의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 본 조사 대상자의 대부분은 19~29세 여성의 영양권장량에 못 미치는 수준으로 영양소를 섭취하고 있었고, 특히 불규칙적인 식사, 결식, 야식 등의 불규칙적인 식습관을 가진 여대생들의 경우, 그 경우 칼슘, 철분, 아연, 여러 비타민 C 등에서 영양권장량에 70%에도 못 미치는 수준을 나타내어 올바른 식습관을 가질 수 있도록 구체적인 영양교육이 필요할 것이다.
