The purpose of this study was to analyze University student’s dietary behavior for processed foods and recognition on food nutrition labelling according to the degree of health concern. For this study, 302 University students in Gyeonggi region was surveyed by questionnaire from May in 2016 and it included the questions about general matters, dietary behavior on processed foods, and the food nutrition label system. It was analysed by SPSS win 23.0 program. And the results are as follows. According to the result of the factor analysis, the preference of processed foods were showed 3.21~3.97. There were significant differences in milk and milk products preference according to health concern (p<0.05). Also frequency of processed foods was shown significant differences in milk and milk products, noodles, beverage, and fast food (p<0.05), whereas no significant differences were found in meat products, snack, bread and frozen food (p>0.05). Also, the processed food purchase consideration according to health concern was shown significant differences in nutrition, origin, manufacturing company (p<0.05), whereas no significant differences were found in taste, price, exterior, brand, and shelf life (p>0.05). Thus, it is necessary to do continuing public relations and to provide more opportunities for nutrition education so that the University students may obtain right dietary behavior on processed foods and the system of food nutrition indication be established properly.

This study was designed to provide the basic data of an effective nutrition education for desirable lifestyle and dietary habits to improve the nutritional status for the elderly by investigating health-related lifestyle, dietary habits, nutritional knowledge, and food intake of the elderly. The subjects included 58 elderly men and 146 elderly women. 35.8% had no more than an elementary school education. Most subjects (54.4%) were widows/widowers. Most subjects (71.0%) made over 150,000 won. 52.5% of subjects lived in houses. Smoking, drinking, exercise, the average sleeping time were significantly difference between the gender (p<0.05).

BMI는 저체중, 정상군, 과체중, 비만이 각각 13명(5.3%), 122명(49.8%), 79명(32.2%), 31명(12.7%)로 나타나, 정상체중 이 가장 많은 반면, 저체중과 비만 학생의 비율이 낮았다. 2. 남녀 대학생들의 건강관련 실천 양상의 차이를 분석한 결과, 흡연, 음주, 운동 여부, 과일 섭취, BMI에서 유의적인 차이를 보인 반면(p<0.05), 육류 섭취는 유의한 차이를 보이 지 않았다(p>0.05). 3. 남녀 대학생들의 식습관의 차이를 분석한 결과, 전체적 으로 ‘아침은 매일 규칙적으로 먹는가’, ‘식사는 언제나 적당 한 양을 먹는가’, ‘1일 2끼 정도의 고기․생선․달걀․콩제품 중의 어느 것인가를 먹고 있는가’, ‘기름을 넣어서 조리한 음 식을 매일 먹는가?’에서 남녀 모두 주 3~5일 실천하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 남녀 대학생 간의 ‘과일을 매일 먹는가’ (p<0.05)에서 통계적인 유의적인 차이가 나타나, 여학생이 남 학생보다 과일 섭취 빈도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 4. 남녀 대학생들의 신체증상의 차이를 분석한 결과, 남녀 모두 ‘쉽게 피로하다’, ‘집중력이 떨어진다’가 높게 나타났으 며, ‘두통이 있다’, ‘감기에 잘 걸린다’, ‘평소에 어지럽다’, ‘쉽게 피로하다’, ‘계단을 오를 때 숨이 가쁘다’, ‘집중력이 떨 어진다’, ‘소화가 잘 안 된다’, ‘변비가 있다’에서 성별에 따른 통계적으로 유의적인 차이가 나타난 반면(p<0.05), ‘얼굴이 창백하다’, ‘소화가 안 된다’, ‘설사 증상이 있다’에서 통계적 으로 유의적인 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p>0.05). 5. 남녀 대학생들의 체성분의 차이를 분석한 결과, 전체적 으로 신장, 체중, BMI, 근육량, 체지방량, 골격근량, 복부지방 률에서 모두 성별에 따른 통계적으로 유의적인 차이가 나타 났다(p<0.05). 6. 남녀 대학생들의 식습관과 신체증상의 상관관계를 분석 한 결과, 남녀 대학생들이 일상생활에서 경험할 수 있는 신체 증상과 식습관의 관계에서 기름을 넣어서 조리한 음식을 매 일 먹는 경우 ‘소화가 잘 안 된다’와 ‘집중력이 떨어진다’, ‘두 통이 있다’ 간에 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 우유를 매일 마 시는 경우 ‘소화가 잘 안 된다’ 간에 음의 상관관계, 1일 2끼 정도는 고기, 생선, 달걀, 콩제품 중의 어느 것인가를 먹는 경 우 ‘소화가 잘 안 된다’와 ‘변비가 있다’간에 음의 상관관계 를 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect and correlation of anthropometric data, eating behaviors, and nutrient intake on the bone mineral density(BMD) of female college students. 349 female college students were surveyed and their age, height, and weight were an average of 20.5 years, 163.2 ㎝ and 54.0 ㎏, respectively. Their average BMI was 20.2, with 66% falling in the normal range, 21.8% classified as underweight, 8.0% as overweight, and obese individuals comprised 3.4% of the sample by BMI classification. Calcaneal BMD was measured and the average T-score was 0.117. The results of BMD measurements were normal in 268 people(76.8%), osteopenia was found in 71 individuals(20.3%), and osteoporosis in 10(2.9%), respectively. There was a significant difference in bone mineral density according to height(p<0.05) and BMI (p<0.01). There were significant differences between BMD and eating behavior, regularity of eating behaviors(p<0.05), instant food intake(p<0.05), eating out(p<0.05) and nutritional supplement intake(p<0.05). In addition, normal the group with normal BMD had a more desirable eating behavior compared to the osteopenia and osteoporosis afflicted groups. BMD had a significant difference according to the nutrient intake of calcium(p<0.05), vitamin A(p<0.05), and vitamin C(p<0.05). In conclusion, BMD showed a good correlation with height(p<0.01), BMI(p<0.01), body composition including total body water(p<0.05), FFM(p<0.05), body protein(p<0.05) and intake of calcium(p<0.05), iron(p<0.05), vitamin A(p<0.05), and vitamin C(p<0.05). Therefore, an education plan and training on balanced diets proper body weight control, and desirable eating behaviors for female college students will be needed.
