Abstract

Purpose: Excess sodium intake may contribute to the etiology of hypertension and cardiovascular disease risk. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily sodium intake of less than 2 g. The aim of this study was to estimate the association of sodium intake with obesity in Korean adults. Methods: This study used Dietary intake and Health data on 22,321 subjects aged 30 years and over from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2010~2014. Information on dietary intake was obtained by the one day 24-hour recall method in KNHANES, and sodium intake was classified into five groups (< 2,000 mg, 2,000~4,000 mg, 4,000~6,000 mg, 6,000~8,000 mg, ${\geq}8,000mg$). Obesity was defined as having a body mass index (BMI) higher than $25kg/m^2$. Intake of sodium and obesity status were analyzed by logistic regression with SPSS Statistics 23. Results: Men tended to have a higher sodium intake than women (p < 0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, year, daily energy intake, education level, smoking status, drinking status, physical activity, and chronic diseases and comparing the highest sodium intake group (${\geq}8,000mg$) with the lowest intake group (< 2,000 mg), the OR of obesity was 1.351 (95% CI: 1.032~1.767) in men. The OR of obesity in the sodium intake group (4,000~6,000 mg) was 1.232 (95% CI: 1.063~1.427) in women. Conclusion: Our findings suggest an independent relationship between sodium intake and as increased risk of obesity in Korean adults, implying the necessity for future research on low-sodium diet intervention in relation to obesity.

본 연구는 국가적으로 시행된 대규모 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 나트륨 섭취량과 비만과의 연관성을 알아보기 위하여 나트륨 섭취량을 5그룹 (2,000 mg 미만, 2,000 mg 이상~4,000 mg 미만, 4,000 mg 이상~6,000 mg 미만, 6,000 mg 이상~8,000 mg 미만, 8,000 mg 이상)으로 분류하여 비만과의 연관성을 분석하였다. 연구대상자의 성별에 따른 일반적인 특징에서 신장과 체중, 체질량지수(BMI), 총 에너지섭취량은 남성이 여성보다 유의적으로 높게 확인되었고, 질병관련 변수에서 비만, 고혈압, 당뇨병, 뇌졸중 유병률 또한 남성이 여성보다 유의적으로 높은 값을 보였다. 성별에 따른 교육수준 (p < 0.001), 흡연여부 (p < 0.001), 음주여부 (p < 0.001)에서도 유의한 차이가 확인되었다. 나트륨 섭취량에 따른 신체계측치 및 건강관련 습관에 대해 분석한 결과, 전체 대상자에서 나트륨 섭취량이 증가할수록 신장, 체중, BMI, 총에너지섭취량이 유의적으로 높아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 남성과 여성에서도 같은 결과를 보였다. 비만, 고콜레스테롤혈증과 고중성지방혈증 유병률은 나트륨 섭취량이 높아짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 남성에서도 유사한 결과가 나타났다. 나트륨 섭취량에 따른 교육수준, 걷기실천율, 흡연여부, 음주여부에서도 유의한 차이가 확인되었다. 성별에 따른 나트륨 섭취량이 비만 유병에 미치는 영향을 교란변수 보정 전후로 비교하여 분석한 결과, 전체 대상자에서는 나트륨섭취량이 증가할수록 2,000 mg 미만 섭취자 대비 비만의 오즈비가 증가하였으며, 남성의 경우 4,000 mg 이상 섭취자부터 유의한 OR값을 보였다. 성별, 나이, 연도, 에너지밀도, 교육수준, 흡연여부, 음주여부, 만성질환 유병여부, 신체활동을 보정하였을 때, 4,000~6,000 mg 섭취그룹 및 8,000 mg 이상 섭취그룹이 2,000 mg 미만 섭취자보다 비만 유병위험이 높게 나타났으며, 남성은 8,000 mg 이상 섭취그룹에서, 여성은 4,000~6,000 mg 섭취자 그룹에서 각각 비만의 유의한 오즈비를 나타내었다.
