서울 종로구 소재 탑골공원에 모여 있는 남자 노인을 대상으로 식사에 대한 일반적인 사항, 건강 및 균형된 식사의 유무를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 조사 대상자의 연령은 70대가 가장 많았으며 학력은 초등 학교 졸업, 전직업으로는 노동 및 농부가 대부분이었다. 아들과 함께 사는 남자 노인이 56.1%였으나 노인 부부 가구 27.3% 및 독신가구 9.1%를 보여 남자 노인 부부 및 독신 가구의 비율이 매우 높았다. 한달 용돈으로 5만원 이하를 사용하는 노인이 가장 많았다. 2. 남자 노인의 41.5%가 불규칙적인 식사를 하였고 이 가운데 대부분이 먹을 것이 없거나 돈이 없어서 점심을 굶는 비율이 높았다. 노인의 식사 준비는 며느리, 부인, 본인, 딸, 복지시설의 순서로 하였으며 식사 준비시 부인이 남자 노인의 식성을 가장 많이 고려하였고, 며느리와 복지시설이 가장 고려하지 않았다(p〈.05). 남자노인의 식사 횟수는 함께 식사하는 사람에 따라 유의적 차이(p〈.01)를 보여 동거하는 가족과 함께 식사를 할 경우 하루 3회 규칙적인 식사를 하였으나, 독신가구를 형성하고 있는 노인의 식사는 매우 불규칙하였다. 3. 완전의치 및 무치 노인이 32.4%를 차지하여 남자노인의 치아상태가 매우 좋지않았으며 이들은 저작 장애를 보였으나 자연치 노인의 대부분은 식사시 문제가 없었다(p〈.05). 노인의 만성질병은 관절염, 소화불량, 고혈압이 비교적 많았고 변비, 당뇨병, 심장병 등도 있었다. 질병에 대한 식이요법보다는 치료약을 복용하는 사람이 더 많았으며 식이요법을 하지 않는 주된 이유는 '먹고 싶은 것을 먹는 것이 더 좋다', '식습관의 변화가 어려워'로 나타났다. 조사 대상자들의 건강보조식품의 섭취 빈도는 매우 낮았으며 다섯 가지 기초식품군에 해당하는 식품들이 건강에 좋은 영향을 미친다고 하였으며, 건강유지를 위하여 즐거운 마음으로 균형된 식사를 하고 운동을 하는 것이 바람직하다고 하였다. 4. 조사대상자의 식습관은 보통수준으로 판정되었으며, 양로원과 같은 복지기관에서 생활하는 노인의 식습관이 가장 좋았고 딸이 식사준비를 할 때 낮았으며(p〈.05), 노인의 식성을 고려하여 식사준비를 할 때 높았고 식성이 고려되지 않을 경우 낮았다(p〈.001). 스스로 건강하다고 생각하는 남자 노인일수록 식습관 점수가 높았다(p〈.001). 5. 아침 식사를 규칙적으로 하는 노인이 77.5%였으며 식사시 식품의 배합을 고려하거나 규칙적으로 녹황색 채소 및 과일을 섭취하는 조사 대상자는 매우 드물었으며 고기·생선·계란 및 콩 등의 단백질 식품, 우유, 과일, 해조류식품이 건강에 유익하다고 알고 있으나 실제 섭취 빈도는 낮았으며, 특히 우유의 섭취가 매우 저조하였다(p〈.01). 이상과 같은 결과로 탑골공원에 모여 소일하는 남자노인이 비교적 건강하였고 식습관이 보통 수준이었음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 노인 혼자 식사할수록 불규칙한 식사를 하였고 식습관이 좋지 않았다. 대체적으로 결식 특히 점심결식 비율이 다소 높았는데 그 이유는 식욕이 없거나 경제적인 여유가 없어서로 나타났다. 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위하여 우리 나라에서도 미국의 'Lunch program'과 같은 노인 영양프로그램을 개발하여 식사의 동기유발을 불러일으키고 최소한 하루의 한끼는 저가의 균형잡힌 식사를 할 수 있는 제도를 만들어야 하겠다.

도시지역(대구, 구미, 영천, 창원)에 거주하는 직장남성 420명을 대상으로 식생활에 영향을 주는 요인들과 식습관에 대하여 조사하였다. 인구통계학적 변인들과 식습관의 관계에서 직업(p<0.001)과 연령(p<0.01)이 높은 유의성을 나타내었다. 전문직, 관리직, 판매직 등의 직업은 식습관이 "좋다"라는 반응이 많이 나타났으나 사무직에서 "나쁘다"라는 반응이 많이 나타났다. 연령에 있어서 청년층보다 장년층이 식습관에 대한 관심도가 높았으며 주거형태, 배우자의 직업 유무, 월수입도 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 식생활 태도 및 건강상태를 나타내는 변인들과 식습관과의 연관성은 하루 평균 식사횟수, 평소 운동상태, 수면상태, 피로감과 생활리듬, 식사 후 소화상태, 건강상태 등에서 상호 높은 유의성(p<0.001)을 나타내어 식생활 태도와 건강상태가 식습관에 깊은 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This nutritional survey was conducted from February 8 to March 10, 1994, in order to investigate the nutritional knowledge, food habits, nutritional attitude, food preferences and nutrient intakes of urban middle-aged women living in Daegu and Pohang district. The subjects of this survey were 164 urban middle-aged women living in Daegu and Pohang Area. The completely answered questionnaires were analyzed for nutritional knowledge, food habits, nutritional attitude, food preference and nutrient intakes of urban middle-aged women. The results obtained are summarized as follows: The subjects had a high level of perceived knowledge (82.9%), that is the knowledge that each subject believed she had, but the accuracy of the knowledge was only 66.1%. The average nutrition knowledge score was 8.26 out of possible 15 points, and food habit score was 5.50 out of 10 points. Most of the subjects belonged to 'Fair' or 'Good' food habit group, which is considered to be relatively good. With increasing age, the percentage of perceived knowledge, accuracy, and nutrition knowledge score were getting lower. But food habit score and nutritional attitude score were getting higher at 40's women than 30's women. The correlation between nutritional knowledge score and food habit score was low (r=0.0748). The correlation between nutritional attitude score and food habit score was low, too (r=-0.0653). Food preferences for kimchi, potato, cooked rice, beef, noodle, cabbage and milk were high. Average calorie and protein intake of the subjects were 1967.4±27.8 Kcal, 75.8±1.4 g respectively. Carbohydrate, protein and fat ratio on energy composition was 63.3%:15.5%:21.2%.

This study was carried out to obtain the information concerning nutritional status, including factors of food habits of 293 men working at industry in Ulsan area. The subjects of this study were composed of 152 clerical workers and 141 physical workers. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: Average age of this subjects was 34.7 years (ranging from 21 to 52), the mean height and weight were 171.5 cm and 66.9 kg, corresponding to the BMI of 22.7. The mean food habit score was 4.4 (ranging from 0 to 9.5) and the mean nutrition knowledge score was 4.9 (ranging from 0 to 10.0) which showed significant correlations with food habit score. Dietary intake data showed the average daily intake of energy, protein, calcium and iron were higher than Korean recommended dietary allowances (RDA), vitamin A, B1, B2, niacin, ascorbic acid were lower than RDA. Among the various influential factors, nutrition knowledge, drinking, smoking and prevalence symptoms of subjects correlated with food habits significantly.

1993년 경기도 부천시에 위치한 부천전문대학에 재학중이고 연령 18∼26세에 해당하는 남녀 대학생 202명 (남자 99명, 여자 103명 )를 대상으로 식습관과 혈청지질과의 관계를 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 91.6%가 자택에 거주하였고 친척집, 자취순으로 매우 높은 자택 거주형태를 나타냈다. 조사대상자의 신장은 남학생의 경우 평균 173.2㎝, 여학생의 경우 159.4㎝이었고, 체중은 남녀가 각각 63.7㎏, 50.8㎏으로 한국영양권장량 산출시에 사용한 성인의 이상적인 신장, 체중과 유사했고 남녀간의 차이가 뚜렷했다. 혈청지질 검사 결과 TC, HDL-C, LDL-C는 남자가 172.2㎎/㎗, 52.3㎎/㎗, 103.4㎎/㎗, 여자가 182.4㎎/㎗, 56.3㎎/㎗, 111.6㎎/㎗이었고, 중성지방은 남녀 각각 82.3㎎/㎗, 72.5㎎/㎗로, 성인의 다른 시기(26∼50세)와는 달리 중성지방을 제외한 TC, HDL-C, LDL-C에 있어서 남자가 여자보다 낮은 수치를 나타냈다. 총 식습관 점수는 남자가 65.0점, 여자가 69.2점으로 여학생이 남학생보다 유의적으로 매우 높은 점수를 나타냈다(p<0.01) 각 항목별 식습관 점수는 하루 식사횟수, 식사속도, 곡류섭취의 규칙성, 채소섭취의 규칙성, 과일섭취의 규칙성, 동물성 기름섭취, 음주빈도, 운동, 흡연항목에서 남녀별 유의적인 차이를 보였고 위 항목중 운동점수를 제외한 나머지 항목에서 여자가 남자보다 높게 나타났다. 식습관 점수와 혈청지질과의 상관관계를 살펴보면 식습관 점수와 LDL-C, LPH는 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 나타내어 식습관 점수가 좋을수록 LDL-C, LPH가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 남녀별로 구분하여 보면 여자의 경우만 식습관 점수와 LPH간에 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 나타냈고 남녀 모두 식습관 점수와 HDL-C간에 유의적은 아니나 음의 상관관계를 보임으로써 남녀 모두 식습관 점수가 좋을수록 HDL-C가 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 혈청지질과 식습관 항목간의 상관관계를 보면, TC는 하루 식사횟수와 음의 상관관계를, 외 식빈도, 음주, 흡연과 양의 상관관계를 나타내어 음주, 흡연은 확실하게 심혈관계질환의 위험인자 중에 속함을 입증했다. LDL-C의 경우 과일류의 매일섭취가 양의 상관관계를 나타낸 것을 제외하면, TC와 같은 경향을 보였고, HDL-C는 과식과는 양의 상관관계를, 콜레스테롤 섭취와는 음의 상관관계를 나타냈다 혈중 LDL-C와 HDL-C의 비율을 나타내는 LPH와 AI를 보면 항목별 같은 경향을 보였고 과일류의 매일섭취와 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 보여, LDL-C와 정비례함을 나타냈다. TG는 식습관 항목과 유의적인 상관관계를 나타내는 것이 없었다. 남녀별 혈청지질과 식습관 항목간의 상관관계를 보면 남자의 성우 규칙적인 아침식사를 할수록 HDL-C가 감소하친 따라서 LPH는 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 여자의 경우 곡류음식을 매일 섭취할수록 LDL-C가 증가하고 따라서 LPH, AI가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 신체 계측치와 식습관 항목간의 상관관계를 보면 신장과 체중은 매우 밀접한 상관관계가 있음을 나타냈다. 하루 식사횟수가 많을수록, 운동 횟수가 많을수록(매일 규칙적일수록) 신장과 체중이 증가하며, 식사속도가 빠를수록, 곡류, 채소류, 과일류, 동물성 기름을 많이 섭취할수록, 음주빈도가 많을수록, 흡연을 많이 할수록 신장과 체중이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 남녀별 신체계측치와 식습관 항목간의 상관관계를 보면, 남자의 경우 담배를 많이 피울수록 신장과 체중이 감소하며, 여자의 경우 과식할수록 신장이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 주목할 것은 다섯가지 식품군을 골고루 섭취할수록 남자의 경우 체중이 증가하는 반면여자의 경우 신장이 증가하는 것으로 나타나 매우 재미있는 양상을 보였다.

This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between body mass index and the food habits of college students. For this purpose, 1030 students of Seoul National University were asked to fill out the questionnaires for the food habit and weight control. Actual weights were also measured, on the spot. The results obtained were as follows. 1. Average height and weight were 173.15 cm, 63.83 kg for male, and 160.52 cm, 52.73 kg for females. The prevalence of underweight, normal and overweight was 32.3, 61.7, 5.5%, respectively. 2. Food habit scores of obese females were lower than normal or underweight females. Male subjects did not show significantly different scores among three groups. 3. Female obese subjects have lower scores than the other groups on the balanced intake of five basic food groups and on the regular meal intakes. Male obese subjects have cholesterol-rich food and animal fat more frequently than normal and underweight males. Male underweight subjects have lower food habit scores on the balanced intake of five basic food groups. 4. Males want to gain weight slightly and females want to lose 4.65 kg weight. All females want to lose weights. Obese males and females want to lose 10 kg weights.

This survey was carried out to investigate the effect of self-consciousness of nutrition knowledge and health on the nutrition knowledge and on food habits between two groups of college women, a nutrition majors and a non-majors. Questionnaries were completed by 214 nutrition majors and by 145 nutrition non-major. Nutrition majors group scored significantly higher than nutrition non-majors in the nutrition knowledge. And nutrition non-majors scored significantly higher than nutrition majors in the food habits. Most of the subjects belonged to `Fair` and `Poor` food habit group. And also there was a significant correlation between the nutrition knowledge score and food habits score in nutrition majors and non-majors. There was a significant and positive correlation between nutrition knowledge score and food habits score in majors but it was not observed in non-majors. The higher majors had a self-consciousness of nutrition knowledge, the higher they had habit score and nutrition knowledge score, but in non-majors it was not observed. And non-majors who had a self-consciousness of health were healthier, they were higher in the food habits scores than the majors. The main curriculum it is important for a good food habits that one has a responsible nutrition education in main curriculum. For the improvement of nutrition education program we should transmit the nutritional information through an effective mass media (i.e. Radio, TV, Newspaper)

This research was attempted to investigate the correlation between food habits as well as preferences and health conditions of middle-aged people. 380 people living in Dae-gu, kimchon and kumrung gun in the 40's or 50's were selected for this research as subjects from July 1 to August 15, 1990. The data analysis was made by way of frequency, percentage, χ2-test and Pearson correlation using SAS package. The summarized results are as follows. 1. Among the total subjects of this research, 200 people (52.6%) were male and 180 people (47.4%) were female. The regional distribution was like this; 115 people (30.3%) lived in large city, 154 people (40.5%) in small and medium city and 111 people (29.2%) in rural region. 2. The survey on food life attitude on the subjects showed that they had a relatively good attitude, and there were little significant differences (p〈.05) between men and women. But there were significant differences (p〈.001) between rural region and city. 3. On the preferences for taste, food and cooked food the subjects showed the lowest preferences for processed milk-fat food and the highest for soybean and processed soybean food. 4. The research on health condition 1) 30.8% of the subjects were obesity. And this research showed that the percentage of obesity was higher among men (33.5%) than women (27.8%), and higher in cities (40.4, 34.4%) than rural region (16.2%), (p〈.05, p〈.01). 2) 90.8% of the subjects showed negative according to Diabetes inspection. 3) 2.0% of the subjects were hypertensive, and the percentage was higher among women than men, and higher in rural region than cities. 4) 12.6% of the subjects were anemia, and the percentage was higher among women (17.8%) than men (8.0%), and higher in rural region (23.4%) than cities (7.0, 9.1%). 5) DMFT index and DMF rate of dental caries was higher among women (DMFT index; 10.6 DMF rate; 88.9) than men (DMFT index; 7.3 DMF rate; 81.5), and higher in rural region (DMFT index; 11.8 DMF rate; 90.1) than cities (DMFT index; 7.4, 7.9 DMF rate; 79.1, 85.7). 6) According to the survey on self-diagnosed health status of subjects, the percentages of articular·neuralgia (48.9%) was the highest. And that of stomach digestion troubles (31.1%), headache (22.4%), anxiety excitement (12.9%), spastic constipation (12.4%), insomnia (9.7%), melancholia (7.9%) and etc (1.6%) followed. 7) People had allergied food which contained animal protein such as pork, chicken, mackerel, siakworm pupa, clam and so on. 8) In female cases, 46.7% of women became already menopausal and 13.3% of them was under menopause. 5. This research showed that there were significant correlation between food life attitude and health condition in obesity, anemia and dental caries but not in blood pressure. 6. And this research also showed that there were significant correlations between food preference and health condition in obesity, anemia and dental caries but not in blood pressure.

The purpose of this study is to provide useful information which will aid in the promotion of nutritional policy in the Korean rural area which are derived from a survey of intake and source of protein in some Korean rural adults and the correlations between their protein nutrition and various nutrients, the uses of tobacco, alcohol, coffee, etc. The survey was conducted from July, 24 through July, 28, 1989. The healthy subjects were 45 males (average age 42.3, average BMI 22.1㎏/㎡ ) and 55 females (44 years, 21.2㎏/㎡) residing in Sungjoo Kyun, Chulanam-Do, Korea. The subjects were examined for the anthropometric, food intake and food habits. Their daily diets were measured by 24-hr recall method. The results can be summarized as follows The daily mean protein intakes of male and female subjects were 95% of RDA(66.5g)( 16.7% of total food intake per day) and 102.3% of RDA(61g) (14.8% of total intake per day) respectively. The order of sources of animal protein in all subjects was fish(47.9%), meat(29.8%), milk (12%), and egg(10.3%). Among protein sources the intake frequencies of fork and chicken were higher than those of others. The protein nutrition of the subjects showed positive correlations with energy and fat, carbohydrate, fiber at the level of significance of 1%. The protein nutrition of the male subjects showed no correlation with age, BMI, uses of alcohol, coffee, medicine, but the plant protein nutrition showed a positive correlation with smoking and exercies(at 5%). And the protein nutrition of the male subjects showed no correlations with uses of tobacco, alcohol, coffee, medicine and their opinion of their present state of their health, but the age of the male subjects showed negative correlations with milk(at 1%) and egg(at 5%). In conclusion, the daily protein intake was good and the main sources of animal protein were fishes in rural adults. The protein nutrition of the subjects showed a correlation with energy, fat, carbohydrate and in the case of female, milk and egg intakes showed the negative correlation with age.

This survey was carried out to investigate the effect of the daily average nutrient intakes, self-consciousness of nutrition knowledge and health on the nutrition knowledge and food habits between college women and their own mothers. Questionnaires were completed by 214 college women who do major in nutrition and by 173 their mothers. The college women scored significantly higher than that of their mothers in the nutrition knowledge. And their mothers scored significantly higher than that of college women in the food habits. Most of the subjects belonged to `Fair` food habit group. which was considered to be relatively good. The correlation of the scores between nutrition knowledge and food habits of the college women and their mothers was low. The daily average nutrient intakes of all women were higher than the recommended dietary allowance except for that of Iron. There was a significant and negative correlation between the nutrition knowledge score and daily average nutrient intakes in college women. But there was not a significant correlation in the nutrient intakes in their mothers. And also there was a significant and positive correlation between food habits score in their mothers but there was not a significant correlation score in college women. The higher the women had a self-consciousness of health. the higher their mothers had a food habit score, but they had daily average nutrient intakes were lower than their daughter`s(college women). And the women that had a self-consciousness of health were healthier. daily nutrient intakes in their own mothers were higher in the food habits scores than that of the college women. The main curriculum for a good food habits is that it is important that one has a responsible nutrition education. For the improvement of nutrition education program we should transmit the nutritional information through an effective mass media(i.e. Radio, TV, Newspaper).

지난 1세기 동안의 한국인 식사 습관의 변화를 조사 분석한 결과는 아래와 같이 요약된다. (1) 이조 말기까지 한국인은 다양한 곡류, 채소류, 과실류를 식품으로 이용하였으나 농업의 전문화와 생활 방식의 도시화에 의하여 이들 식품 재료의 종류가 크게 감소하였다. (2) 우리의 전통식단은 영양적으로 균형잡힌 구성을 가지고 있었으나 일제의 수탈과 전쟁 중의 식량난으로 한국인의 영양 섭취는 크게 악화되었다. (3) 전쟁 중 악화된 영양상태를 전통 식사법의 회복으로 극복하려 하지 않고 서양식 식사법의 도입으로 해결하려 하였다. (4) 전쟁중의 기아 상태에서 외국 원조로 공급된 분유와 밀가루의 섭취가 일반화 되었으며, 전후 경제 개발 과정에서 분식 장려 정책과 축산 진흥 정책이 계속되었다. (5) 1970년대 이후의 경제 성장 과정에서 식용 및 사료용 곡물 도입이 급증하게 되었으며 식량 자급율은 50% 이하로 하락하였다. (6) 1970년대에 와서야 우리의 식량공급은 이조 말기의 수준으로 회복되었다. 그러나 그 구성면에서 지방질의 섭취가 크게 증가되는 양상을 나타내었다. (7) 1980년대에는 동물성 식품의 소비 과다, 지방의 과잉섭취 현상이 계속 심화되고 있으며 이러한 현상은 성인병의 발병율 증가 등 국민 보건의 퇴화 조짐과 식량 수입에 따른 경제적 부담을 가중시키고 있다. (8) 우리의 전통 식사법에 근거를 둔 식사목표의 설정과 올바른 식습관 정립을 위한 국민 교육과 정책적 배려가 시급히 요구되고 있다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical relations of eating behaviors to body mass index (BMI) and obesity in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty. This study included 30 precocious puberty patients who were diagnosed at Chosun University Hospital between February and December 2013. Information was obtained from their parents using a questionnaire focused on eating behaviors and lifestyle factors. We rechecked their BMI and questionnaire after 12 months to identify the changes. Six (20%) of the 30 patients children were overweight and obesity at diagnosis. Overweight and obesity group tended to overeat. Normal weight group ate an unbalanced diet more than overweight and obesity group, particularly lack of fruit and vegetable (p=0.010). Eight (27%) of the 30 patients children were overweight and obesity and 24 (80%) of the 30 patients children showed increased BMI after 12 months follow up. BMI-decreased group ate breakfast with whole family members more frequent than BMI-increased group (p=0.006). This study showed the importance of healthy diet during treatment of precocious puberty. Children with precocious puberty should avoid overeating and make a balanced diet with preferable eating behaviors from the family meals.

This study were conducted to investigate the effect of horticultural activities on the sociability and eating habit for children seven years old in kindergarten. The two groups of preschool children 7 years, in 'M' kindergarten and in 'N' kindergarten, were objects of this research. The number of children were 22 and 7, respectively. The horticultural activities program were applied for 12 sessions in one time a week to 'M' kindergarten and for 15 sessions in one time a week to 'N' kindergarten. The results showed horticultural activities significantly improved sociability and eating habit. Especially the inclination for violence, injuring or beating, was reduced remarkably. Horticultural activities seem to be effective for understanding on natural phenomenon, involve the characteristics of a plant and an animal, and also for recognizing signification of nature life while children did horticultural activities. It was seem those positive effects lead improve sociability in their group. Horticultural activities had an effect on eating habit for children. Especially, It was seem that this effect, improving an unbalanced diet habit, arise from getting familar with vegetables while children cultured and cared themselves.
