This study aimed to investigate the relationship between eating speed and nutritional status among Korean high-school students using Nutrition Quotient for Korean Adolescents (NQ-A). In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted in 453 high-school students (227 boys and 226 girls) from September 2019 to October 2019 in Chungbuk area. Based on the self-reported speed of eating data, subjects were classified into a fast group (n=180), a medium group (n=184), and a slow group (n=89). NQ-A scores for each group were measured in each speed group. In the environment section, girls showed a significant difference in usage time of electronic devices, such as TVs and smartphones: the fast group spent significantly more time than the medium group (p=0.035). In the practice section, among boys, the slow group had significantly higher scores for washing hands before eating than the medium and the fast groups (p=0.022). This study suggested that eating speed of high school students is associated with health-related environment factor and practice factor of NQ-A, such as time spent on smart devices or washing hands before eating. The study results can provide baseline data for nutrition education on health management of high school students.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate dietary intake according to the risk of coronary heart disease (less than 10% = low-risk group; 10~20% = middle-risk group) based on Framingham risk score (FRS), on 122 male adult subjects. The body weight and body mass index were not significantly different between the groups, while height of the low-risk group was shown to be significantly high compared to that of the middle-risk group. The daily energy intake was shown to be significantly high in the low-risk group with 1,910.88 kcal, compared to 1,606.63 kcal of the middle-risk group. As a result of analyzing nutrient intake per 1,000 kcal of energy, while the low-risk group had significantly high intake of animal protein, fat, and animal fat compared to the middle-risk group, the intake of plant protein, carbohydrate, and plant iron was found to be significantly low. The daily food intake was shown to be significantly high in the low-risk group (1,445.16 g), compared to the middle-risk group (1,075.12 g). The low-risk group was found to have significantly high intake of sugars, eggs, and beverages compared to the middle-risk group, while mushrooms intake was significantly high in the middle-risk group. Dietary variety score (DVS) was significantly high in the low-risk group with 26.42, compared to 22.66 of the middle-risk group. Dietary diversity score (DDS) was indicated to be significantly high in the low-risk group with 3.70, compared to 3.27 of the middle-risk group. The low-risk group was indicated to have significantly high score in DDS of dairy products and fruit group, compared to the middle-risk group. In the correlation between diversity index of food intake (DVS and DDS) and FRS, DDS was shown to have significantly negatively correlation with FRS after adjusting for confounding factors. To sum up these results, the adult males with low-risk of coronary heart disease had more various consumptions of fruits and milk, compared to the subjects with the middle-risk. The proportion of consuming major food groups such as cereals, meat group, milk, fruits, and vegetables more than a fixed quantity was indicated to be high. Accordingly, dietary habit for intake of various food seems to be necessary, to prevent coronary heart disease.

최미경,배윤정,한은경,승정자,Choi Mi-Kyeong,Bae Yun-Jung,Han Eun-Kyung,Sung Chung-Ja 동아시아식생활학회 2006 동아시아식생활학회지 Vol.16 No.1

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between glycemic load and blood lipid profiles in some Korean according to age: The subjects were divided into four groups based on the following age ranges; $10\sim19$ age group(n=260), $20\sim49$ age group(n=129), $50\sim64$ age group(n=135), over 65 age group(n=87). They were measured for the anthropometric measurements, dietary intakes, glycemic load and blood analysis. The average ages of the $10\sim19$ age group, $20\sim49$ age group, $50\sim64$ age group and over 65 age group were 10.9 yrs, 40.8 yrs, 57.1 yrs and 70.8 yrs, respectively. The food intakes were increased according to age in the younger two groups but decreased in the elder two groups. The energy and carbohydrate intakes were the highest in the $10\sim19$ age group. The averages of serum HDL-cholesterol levels of the $20\sim49,\;50\sim64$ and over 65 age group were significantly lower than that of the $10\sim19$ age group. The food intake of the $10\sim19$ age group was positively correlated to the glycemic load(p<0.001). The food and energy intakes of the $20\sim49,\;50\sim64$ and over 65 age group were positively correlated to the glycemic load. And the serum triglyceride and AI levels of the over 65 age group were positively correlated to the glycemic load(p<0.001, p<0.05). These results suggest the need for further research into the relation between glycemic load and blood lipids in order to ensure proper carbohydrate intakes.

This study was peformed to estimate manganese intake and the major food source of manganese in Korean adults. The 354 subjects aged over 20 years were measured anthropometrics and dietary intake using 24-hour recall method. Daily intake and the major food sources of manganese were calculated using manganese database of food composition tables in Korea, USA and Japan. The average age, height, weight and BMI were 54.6years, 165.7cm, 67.2kg and $24.5kg/m^2$ for men and 53.8 years, 153.7cm, 59.1kg and $24.9kg/m^2$ for women, respectively. The daily energy and manganese intake of men were significantly higher than those of women (1740.9 kcal vs. 1432.6 kcal; p<0.001, 3.7mg vs. 3.2mg; p<0.01). However, daily manganese intake per 1000kcal between men and women was not significantly different (2.2mg/1000kcal vs. 2.3mg/1000kcal). Daily manganese intakes from each food group were 1.9mg from cereals, 0.5mg from vegetables, 0.4mg from pulses and 0.2mg from seasonings. The 20 major food sources of dietary manganese were rice, soybean, sorghum, Kimchi, tobu, wheat flour, red pepper powder, small red bean, glutinous millet, soybean paste, potato, Ramyeon, green pepper, noodle, buckwheat Naengmyeon, soybean sprout, laver, watermelon, perilla seeds powder and soy sauce. Manganese intake from these 20 foods was 74.0% of the total dietary manganese intake. In conclusion, daily manganese intake of the subject was 3.4mg (2.2mg/1000 kcal) and met adequate intake of manganese. The mai or food sources of manganese were cereals, pulses, and vegetables such as rice, soybean, sorghum, Kimchi and tobu.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the energy intake and energy expenditure of obese children. The body weight and height were measured, and the daily energy intake and activity pattern assessed for one day, using the 24 hour recall method and interviews in 83 elementary school children (59 boys and 24 girls). The average age, height, weight, ideal body weight and obesity index in boys and girls were 11.8 years, 144.8 cm, 54.2 kg, 39.9 kg and 35.9% and 11.5 years, 140.8 cm, 48.9 kg, 36.9 kg and 33.7%, respectively. The mean daily energy intakes of boys and girls were 1,670.5 and 1,656.5 kcal; these being 76.4 and 88.5% of estimated energy requirement for Koreans, respectively. The energy intake ratio from carbohydrates, proteins and fats in boys and girls were 61.5:14.7:23.6 and 62.0:14.7:23.7, respectively. The resting energy expenditure, as estimated by the Harris-Benedict, WHO/NAO/FAO and Korean DRI formulae in boys and girls were 1,452.7, 1,239.2 and 1,629.2 kcal and 1,323.9, 1,156.0 and 1,252.4 kcal, respectively. The activity coefficient for both the boys and girls was 1.39. The daily energy expenditure of boys (1,990.7 kcal) was significantly higher than that of girls (1712.1 kcal). No significant correlations were found between the obesity index, energy intake and energy expenditure. These results suggested that a nutrition and exercise program is required to increase the energy expenditure of elementary school children. Further research will be needed to assess multiple dietary factors and dove]lop a standard method for assessing the energy expenditure of obese children.

본 연구에서는 대사증후군의 예방과 관리를 위한 식사지침을 마련하기 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 일부 성인을 대상으로 NCEP-ATP Ⅲ와 WHO 아시아태평양 비만 기준에 의해 대사증후군 성인을 분류한 후 영양소섭취상태와 혈액성상을 살펴보았으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 대사증후군 대상자의 평균 연령, 신장, 체중 및 체질량지수는 각각 58.8세, 158.0 cm, 66.3 kg, $26.5\;kg/m^{2}$이었으며, 대조군은 각각 58.4세, 158.9 cm, 59.6 kg, $23.5\;kg/m^{2}$로 대사증후군 대상자의 체중과 체질량지수가 대조군보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001, p<0.001). 총 식품섭취량은 대사증후군 대상자와 대조군이 각각 1063.8 g과 1183.4 g으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 각 식품군별 섭취량도 두 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 남자 대상자의 경우 대사증후군 대상자의 버섯류 섭취는 대조군보다 유의적으로 높은 반면(p<0.05), 난류 섭취량은 대조군보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.01). 또한 여자 대상자의 경우 대사증후군 대상자의 채소류 섭취가 대조군보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 에너지 섭취량은 대사증후군 대상자가 1527.9 kcal, 대조군이 1578.9 kcal로 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 그 밖의 영양소 섭취량도 두 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 여자 대상자의 경우 대사증후군 대상자의 식이섬유 섭취량이 대조군보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 대사증후군 진단기준으로 사용한 혈청 HDL-콜레스테롤, 중성지질, 혈당 및 혈압은 대사증후군 대상자가 각각 39.9 mg/dL, 183.9 mg/dL, 126.6 mg/dL, 138.1/78.8 mmHg로 대조군의 45.8 mg/dL, 125.5 mg/dL, 93.6 mg/dL, 120.8/72.8 mmHg와 비교할 때 HDL-콜레스테롤은 유의하게 낮고 나머지는 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p< 0.001, p<0.001). 혈청 GPT, 동맥경화지수, 백혈구수는 대사증후군 대상자가 각각 27.8 IU/L, 3.7, $5964.2\;{\mu}/L$로 대조군의 22.6 IU/L, 3.2, $5250.0\;{\mu}/L$보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.01, p<0.001, p<0.01). 이상의 결과를 종합할 때 대사증후군의 여성 대상자의 경우 섬유소 및 채소류의 섭취가 정상 성인보다 낮게 나타나, 이들 식품 및 영양소의 섭취가 대사증후군의 증상에 도움이 될 수 있음이 제시되어 이러한 결과는 대사증후군의 예방과 관리를 위한 식사지침을 마련하기 위한 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 대사증후군 대상자의 혈청 GPT와 동맥경화지수가 정상 성인보다 유의하게 높게 나타나, 본 연구를 기초로 하여 향후 염증과 군집으로서의 대사증후군과의 관계를 밝히는 연구를 수행하는 것이 필요하다고 생각한다. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the nutrient intake and selected blood parameters of adults with metabolic syndrome (MS) and to provide data in forming a dietary guideline for the prevention of chronic diseases. Subjects were recruited and divided into two groups according to the NCEP-ATP III criteria and WHO Asia-Pacific Area criteria for obesity. MS group was defined as subjects who have three or more risk factors and control group was defined as those with two or less of the risk factors. The average age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) were 58.8 years, 158.0 cm, 66.3 kg, $26.5\;kg/m^{2}$, respectively, in the MS group; and 58.4 years, 158.9 cm, 59.6 kg, $23.5\;kg/m^{2}$, respectively, in the control group. The weight and BMI in the MS group were significantly higher than those in the control (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the food and nutrient intake between the MS and control group. Male subjects in the MS group showed significantly higher intake of mushrooms than those in the control (p<0.05). Egg consumption in the MS group was significantly lower than those in the control (p<0.01). Consumption of vegetables and fiber was significantly lower for female subjects in the MS group than those in the control (p<0.05). Serum GPT, AI and WBC count in the MS group (27.8 IU/L, 3.7, $5964.2\;{\mu}/L$) were significantly higher than those in the control (22.6 IU/L, 3.2, $5250.0\;{\mu}/L$; p<0.01, p<0.001, p<0.01). In conclusion, consuming fiber and vegetables may prevent and reduce metabolic syndrome in adult men and women, and this study demonstrates the need for proper dietary management for them.

And daily manganese intake through 30 common foods was calculated using analysis data of this study and daily food intakes cited from report on 1998 national health and nutrition survey. The average manganese contents of foods analyzed were 949.6 ㎍ for rice, 236.1 ㎍ for Korean chinese cabbage kimchi, 27.2 ㎍ for citrus fruit, 2.6 ㎍ for milk, 214.6 ㎍ for radish root, 40.0 ㎍ for apple, 60.4 ㎍ for persimmon, 13.9 ㎍ for pork, 9.5 ㎍ for beef, 638.3 ㎍ for soybean curd, 184.0 ㎍ for radish kimchi, 56.0 ㎍ for pear, 18.4 ㎍ for beer, 11.3 ㎍ for egg, 9.5 ㎍ for carbonated beverage, 345.0 ㎍ for bread, 50.7 ㎍ for soju, 270.3 ㎍ for potato, 236.1 ㎍ for sweet potato, 91.2 ㎍ for ramyeon, 32.5 ㎍ for onion, 68.0 ㎍ for nabak kimchi, 538.2 ㎍ for soybean sprout, 112.5 ㎍ for welsh onion, 336.7 ㎍ for rice cake, 589.9 ㎍ for Korean chinese cabbage, 430.4 ㎍ for somyeon, 144.3 ㎍ for pumpkin, 3.0 ㎍ for yoghurt, and 614.4 ㎍ for spinach per 100 g of each food. The daily manganese intake through 30 common foods of Koreans in 1998 was 3420.7 ㎍. Major sources of dietary manganese were rice, kimchi, and soybean curd. Especially, rice supplied 68.1% of total dietary manganese intake through 30 common foods. Further studies are required to establish database and RDA of manganese.
