Abstract

Selenium is an important trace mineral that plays an essential role in maintaining the body's immunity with oxidative stress defense and antioxidant activity, immunity, thyroid hormone control, defense against drug or heavy metal harm, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. A selenium deficiency increases the risk of various chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurological disease, osteoarthritis, muscle necrosis and weakness, thyroid disease, and inflammatory diseases. This paper explains the criteria for establishing and revising selenium in the 2020 Dietary Reference Intake for Koreans (KDRIs) and reviews the current status of the selenium database and suggestions for setting the 2025 KDRIs in the future. In the 2020 KDRIs, the selenium intake with the maximum plasma selenoprotein P level was used as the criteria. The weight and coefficient of the variation were applied to the Chinese' reported values. Compared to 2015 KDRIs, there were some revisions in the selenium dietary reference intakes by gender and age according to the change in reference weight. To improve and revise selenium dietary reference intakes in the future, a selenium intervention study is needed to determine the maximum level of plasma selenoprotein P in Koreans. In addition, a revision of the selenium database of the nutritional assessment program (CAN-Pro 5.0) is needed. An analysis of the selenium content of foods should be expanded to assess the selenium intake accurately. In addition, research on the relationship between selenium intake and the biological indicators in the body is required for healthy people and subjects of special environments, such as patients and athletes with various oxidative stress.

셀레늄은 산화스트레스 방어 기능으로 인체의 면역기능 유지에 필수적 역할을 하고, 세포의 항산화기능, 면역기능, 갑상선호르몬 조절, 약물이나 중금속 위해에 대한 방어, 만성질환의 위험 감소에 필수 역할을 하는 미량무기질이다. 셀레늄 섭취의 부족은 암, 심혈관질환, 당뇨병, 신경질환, 골관절 및 근육괴사와 약화, 갑상선질환, 염증성 질환 등 다양한 만성적 질환의 위험을 높인다. 본 논문은 2020 한국인 영양소 섭취기준에서 셀레늄의 제정과 개정 근거 기준에 대해 설명하고, 셀레늄 데이터베이스의 현황과 향후 2025 한국인 영양소 섭취기준 설정을 위한 필요 연구에 대해 논의하였다. 셀레늄의 2020 한국인 영양소 섭취기준은 2015년에 이어 혈장 셀레노프로테인 P 수준이 최대가 되는 셀레늄의 평균필요량을 지표로 사용하였고, 중국인 대상의 보고치에 한국인의 기준체중과 변이계수를 적용하는 방법이 적용되었으며, 2015년에 비해 참고체중치의 변경에 따라 성별, 연령별 셀레늄 섭취기준에서 약간의 개정이 있었다. 향후 셀레늄 섭취기준 설정의 발전을 위해서는 1) 한국인 대상의 혈장 셀레노프로테인 P의 최대수준을 나타내는 셀레늄 섭취량을 파악하기 위한 셀레늄 중재연구가 필요하고, 2) 셀레늄 섭취량 판정의 정확성을 높이기 위한 영양평가 프로그램내 식품 셀레늄 데이터베이스의 검토와 식품의 셀레늄 함량 분석을 확대해야 하며, 3) 국민의 셀레늄 섭취와 체내 생물학적 지표와의 관계를 건강한 일반인뿐만 아니라 질환자 및 운동선수와 같은 특수 환경의 대상자들로 확대하는 연구가 요구된다.
