본 연구에서는 도시 저소득층 여성을 대상으로 비만 및 영양소 섭취 부족과 관련된 사회경제적 요인을 분석하고자 했다. 대상자는 저소득층 가구를 대상으로 한 무료건강검진 센터를 방문한 여성 중 연구 참여에 동의한 41~87세 125명의 여성이었다. 대상자들의 72%가 초등학교 이하의 교육, 70%가 50만원 미만의 수입, 68%가 집을 소유하지 않고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 대상자들을 65세 미만, 이상으로 나누어 봤을 때 65세 미만군의 비만유병율은 BMI (≥ 25 ㎏/㎡) 기준으로 44%, WHR (≥ 0.85) 기준으로 48%, 허리둘레 (≥ 80 ㎝) 기준으로 50%이었다. 65세 이상군에서는 이보다 높아 BMI (≥ 25 ㎏/㎡) 기준 57%, WHR (≥ 0.85) 기준 81%, 허리둘레 (≥ 80 ㎝) 기준으로 79%였다. 대상자는 주로 채소류, 곡류, 과일류를 많이 섭취했다. 모든 대상자에서 열량 및 영양소 섭취 상태는 대체적으로 불량했고 특히 65세 이상 노인에서 더욱 불량한 것으로 나타나 여자노인에서 EAR을 충족시키지 못하는 비율은 철을 제외한 모든 영양소에서 50% 이상이었다. 대부분의 대상자들의 영양소 섭취량은 RI 수준에 미치지 못했고 그러한 사람의 비율은 65세 미만의 경우 단백질과 Vitamin B6 제외한 65세 이상에서는 모든 영양소에서 50% 이상이었다. 65세 미만에서는 비만 및 영양불량과 사회경제적 지표와의 관련성이 없었다. 그러나 65세 이상에서 비만의 경우 수입과 영양불량의 경우 학력과 집소유 여부와 관련이 있었다. 따라서, 65세 이상에서 연령을 보정한 후에, 사회경제적 수준에 따른 비만 및 영양부족의 위험도를 살펴본 결과, BMI 기준 비만의 위험도 (OR = 12.601; 95% CI = 2.338-67.911)와 WC 기준 복부 비만의 위험도(OR = 4.778; 95% CI = 1.103-20.696)는 월평균 가구 수입 50만원 미만인군에서 그 이상인 군보다 높았다. 영양섭취불량의 경우, 교육 수준이 낮은 사람들 (무학)에게서 Vitamin A (OR = 4.555; 95% CI = 1.491-13.914)를 EAR보다 적게 섭취할 위험이 높았고 자기 집을 소유하지 않은 사람의 경우, 단백질 (OR = 3.660; 95% CI = 1.118-11.981), 인 (OR = 3.428; 95% CI = 1.157-10.158), 철분 (OR = 3.765; 95% CI = 1.205-11.766)섭취가 EAR보다 부족할 위험이 집을 소유한 사람들보다 높았다. 저소득층 노인여성에서 사회경제적 수준은 비만 (소득수준) 및 영양불량 [교육수준(Vitamin A), 자가집 소유 여부(단백질, 인, 철)] 위험과 관련이 있는 것으로 보여진다. 따라서 이러한 여성들의 비만 및 영양불량을 예방하기 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. This study was performed to investigate socioeconomic factors relating to obesity and inadequate nutrient intake in women in low income families residing in Seoul. The subjects were 125 women (aged 41-87 y) recruited from the local health center for free health examination for low income families. The socioeconomic status such as educational level, income level, and housing condition were poor. For subjects aged less than 65 years, the prevalence of obesity was 44% based on BMI (≥ 25 ㎏/㎡), 48% based on WHR (≥ 0.85), and 50% based on waist circumference (≥ 80 ㎝) and for those more than 65 years, these were greater and 57%, 81%, and 79%, respectively. The main food sources of daily diet were vegetables, grains, and fruits. Energy and other nutrient intake was not adequate for all subjects and the inadequacy was more profound in the elderly, showing percentages of subjects whose intake was less than EAR were greater than 50% for all nutrients except for iron and below RI were also greater than 50% for all nutrients. The prevalence of obesity and nutrient inadequacy were not associated with socioeconomic status in subjects aged less than 65 years, however, obesity was associated with household income and nutrient inadequacy was related to education (vitamin A) and housing status (protein, phosphate, and iron) in the elderly. After adjustment for ages, in the elderly, OR for obesity (BMI ≥ 25, OR = 12.601; 95% CI = 2.338-67.911) and central obesity (WC ≥ 80 ㎝, OR = 4.778; 95% CI = 1.103-20.696) were greater in subjects who earned less than 500 thousand Won per month than who earned more. For inadequate nutrient intake, the OR for inadequate intake of Vitamin A (OR = 4.555; 95% CI = 1.491-13.914) was greater in subjects with no education than those educated. Subjects without her own house had greater risk for inadequate intake for protein (OR = 3.660; 95% CI = 1.118-11.981), phosphate (OR = 3.428; 95% CI = 1.157-10.158), and iron (OR = 3.765; 95% CI = 1.205-11.766) than subjects possessing her house. In elderly females in low income families, the socioeconomic status was associated with the risk for obesity (income level) and inadequate nutrient intake (education level and housing status). More attention on these groups should be given for prevention of obesity and inadequate nutrient intake.

Objectives: Based on the results from the Korean Total Diet Study (KTDS), the sodium (Na) and potassium (K) intake of Koreans were estimated and compared with intake estimates from the Food & Nutrient Database (FNDB), as in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) to verify the validity of these estimates. Methods: One hundred and thirty-four representative foods (RFs) covering 92.5% of the total food intake of Koreans were selected, and 228 pairs of corresponding ‘RF x representative cooking method’ were derived by reflecting the methods used mainly in terms of frequency and quantity in their cooking. RF samples were collected from three cities with a larger population size in three regions (nine cities) nationwide, and six composite samples were made for each RF, considering its regional and/or seasonal characteristics. One thousand three hundred and sixty-eight ‘RF x representative cooking method’ pair samples were prepared, and the Na and K contents were assessed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-MS). The Na and K intake of the Korean population was estimated by linking the content with the food intake data from the 7th KNHANES. Results: The mean Na and K intake of Koreans were 2,807.4 mg and 2,335.0 mg per person per day, respectively. A comparison with the Na and K intake from KNHANES, including only RFs of KTDS, showed comparable results with less than 5% variation. While the contribution and ranking of food items to Na intake were similar between KNHANES and KTDS, there were differences in K intake. This was attributed to the large discrepancies in the K content of rice and coffee between KTDS results and the values in the 9th Revision of the National Food Composition Table used in KNHANES. Conclusions: The Na and K intake of Koreans estimated based on the KTDS, which performed nutrient analysis on samples prepared to a ‘table-ready’ state using foods of the representative collection, was similar and comparable with that of KNHANES. This supports the validity and usefulness of FNDB-based nutrient intake estimation at the population level. The list of nutrients studied in KTDS is expected to be expanded, allowing for intake estimation of nutrients with currently insufficient or absent information in the FNDBs in use.

In order to identify valuable factors for improving dietary quality of Korean rural elderly, the consumption frequency of food groups, dietary habits and health behaviors related to nutrient intakes of the elderly over 85 of Sunchang County were studied. The 171 subjects (61 males and 110 females) were chosen from Sunchang Province by stratified sampling. Among food groups, the consumption frequency of meat and fish groups influenced significantly on their nutrient intakes than the other groups. The subjects consuming more than 4 times per week of meat or fish had significantly higher nutrient intakes level than the other groups. The group consuming milk and milk products everday was higher in vitamin B2 intake level than the other groups. Among dietary habits, the groups with good appetite and regular mealtime compared with the groups with low appetite and irregular mealtime had significantly higher nutrient intake levels. The family type was the determining factor of nutrient intakes. The subjects living with family members consumed higher nutrient intakes than the subjects living alone. The smoking and the alcohol consumption themselves did not affect nutrient intakes, but the subjects having alcohol consumption frequently more than once a day had lower nutrient intakes than the others. The group with dentures did not differ significantly from the without denture group in nutrient intakes; however, those who had chewing problems showed the lower nutrient intakes compared to those who did not have chewing problems. The subjects with more than two kinds of clinical symptoms had lower nutrient intakes than the subjects with less than two kinds of clinical symptoms. These results indicate that the identifying factors for desirable nutrient intakes of rural elderly were characterized as appropriate consumption frequencies of meat and fish, good appetite, living with family, regular mealtime, chewing without difficulty, and low incidence of chronic disease.

The aim of this study was to investigate the various forms of diet and energy intake, total nutrients intake of daily energy and the changes of building up a meal habit for unmarried women to be slender. For achieving this study, first of all, I selected 50 unmarried women 22∼29 in age, and calculated the exhortative quantity and nutrients intake of each nutrition substance, by means of experimenting 24 hours recollections for each nutrients intake and body mass index. I came to the following conclusion after investigating the body mass index gained by body measure and correlations and nutrients significant on nutrients intake and exhortative quantity. 1. Examing the difference from the exhortative quantity and nutrients intake in unmarried women group of this study, I concluded that the nutrients intake showed less than the exhortative quantity in calorie, very little in protein, and deficient in fat intake. Also the intake carbohydrate, calcium and iron content of the main nutrition showed less than the exhortative quantity, and much in phosphorus, vitamin A, and vitamin C. And there was non-significants with vitamin B_1 and vitamin B_2 The total differences showed nearly the same as calorie(p<0.01), fat(p<0.05), calcium(p<0.05), phosphorus(p<0.01), vitamin A(p<0.01), niacin(p<0.05), and vitamin C(p<0.01) in general nutritive substance. 2. The relation with body weight and age as physical characteristics, the body mass index showed significants to the age. 3. The correlation between the body mass index and each nutrients intake in unmarried women group of this study showed very little differences in other nutrition, but showed significants correlation in vitamin A(p<0.05), and vitamin C(p<0.01).

This study was investigated nutrient intakes and dietary evaluation index of the healthy subjects over 85 of Sunchang County to explore the improved dietary pattern for healthy aging of the elderly. The survey was conducted by personal interview to 161 elderly subjects (59 males and 102 females over 85) in 2006, and their daily dietary intake was assessed by 24-hr recalls and weighing one meal. The daily energy intakes of males were 1,335±67 kcal, and those of females were 1,095±38 kcal comprised of 66.8% and 68.4% of the EER for the age group of 75. The proportions of energy from carbohydrate: protein: lipid were 70.7:14.6:14.6 for males and 68.6:14.0:17.4 for females. The average protein intakes were 95.4% for males and 85.0% for females of RI, and the average calcium intakes were 54.3% for males and 43.6% for females of RI. The daily vitamin intakes were below 70% except vitamin A, vitamin B6, and vitamin E. The proportion of the relative risk groups of protein, phosphate, iron and vitamin A ranged 40-49% of RI over 75 year groups. The other nutrient intakes showed that there were over 50% risk groups. Especially for nutrients such as calcium, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, folate and niacin over 70% of the subjects were under risk. The median value of all nutrient intakes did not reach AI. The INQ of nutrients were over 0.8 except for folate and vitamin C. Calcium intakes were relatively low and needed attention. However, the ratio of calcium and phosphate showed 1:1.6, which appeared to be superior to the other districts. The DVS were higher as the dietary balance scores, KDDS were higher, and the groups with high KDDS had high intakes of nutrients compared to the groups with low KDDS. The high risk groups as judged by simple nutrition screening test had lower nutrient intakes than the groups of middle risk or low risk groups. The subjects in Sunchang area had relatively low intakes of several nutrients. However, judging from the desirable patterns of the energy proportion from three major nutrients, ratio of calcium and phosphate and INQ of nutrients there is a possibility that extended healthy aging might be related to the quality of nutrients and relative ratio between nutrients. To improve nutrient status of the elderly of the surveyed area further application involving KDDS and DVS appeared to be required. (Korean J Community Nutrition 14(3):255~265, 2009)

To assess diet quality by food group intake and to investigate the interrelationship of age, dietary diversity score(DDS), dietary variety score(DVS), dietary frequency score(DFS), food group intake and nutrient intake with food group intake, a dietary survey was conducted with 176 preschool children aged 1 to 6 in Busan using a 24-hr recall method. Food group intake was assessed by food number consumed and intake frequency by six food groups(grain, meat, vegetable, fruit, dairy, sweets group). The mean food numbers consumed and intake frequencies by six food group were 3.1 and 4.0 in the grain group, 3.6 and 4.0 in the meat group, 3.5 and 4.1 in the vegetable group, 1.0 and 1.1 in the fruit group, 1.3 and 1.5 in the dairy group, 1.4 and 1.4 in the sweets group respectively. As age increased, the intake frequency of the grain group(p < 0.05) increased but that of the dairy group(p < 0.05) decreased significantly. The DVS and DFS didn't show significant correlations with intake frequency of the dairy group. The grain group intake had significant positive correlations with intakes of the meat, vegetable, and fruit groups. The vegetable group intake had significant positive correlations with intakes of the grain and meat groups. The dairy group intake had significant positive correlation with sweets group intake but negative correlations with intakes of the grain and vegetable groups. As the intake frequency of the at group increased, the NAR(nutrient adequacy ratios) of all nutrients and MAR(tnean adequacy ratio) increased significantly NARs of protein iron, vitamin B₁niacin had the highest correlation with the meat group intake and those of protein, calcium, phosphorous, and vitamin B₂ had the highest correlation with the dairy group intake. NARs of vitamin A and vitamin C had the highest correlation with intakes of the vegetable and fruit groups respectively. Children with food number consumed and intake frequency of above 6 and 4 in the grain group or above 6 and 6 in the meat group or above 4 and 8 in the vegetable group or above 1 and 1 in the fruit group or above 2 and 2 in the dairy group or above 2 and 2 in the sweets group met above 0.75 of NARs for nutrients that had significant correlations with each six food group intakes. The results of this study provide information that is important for nutrition education for daily food choice and in designing appropriate food guide for preschool children.

Purpose: The consumption of processed foods has recently been increasing due to changes in the living environment. The purpose of this study was to identify the contribution of processed food to the nutrient intake of adult Koreans. Methods: A total of 15,760 adult people in the 6th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013~2015) were included in this study. According to the Korea Food and Drug Administration's classification criteria for processed foods, the 24 hour dietary recall data of the subjects were classified as processed food or natural food. The processed food intake, nutrient intake and major processed food sources by food groups were analyzed. Results: Men consumed more processed foods than did the women. Consumption of processed foods decreased with age, but it increased with the education level and the income level. The total daily processed food intake accounted for 68.1% of the total food intake. The food groups with high processed food intake were beverage, vegetables, cereals and grain products, fruits, and milk and dairy products in this order. The top food source of each food groups were beer, kimchi, bread, processed apple products, and milk. After adjusting for age, gender, and energy intake, all the nutrient intakes and percentage of dietary reference intakes for Koreans, except carbohydrates, were significantly higher in processed foods than in natural foods. The sodium intake from the processed food was 96.3% of total daily sodium intake. The intakes of nutrients from processed foods, excluding vitamins C, dietary fiber, iron, and vitamin A, were higher in men than in women. The intake of sodium from processed foods was highest for people of 30~ 49 years of age, and the intake of sodium from processed foods decreased for people over 50. Conclusion: Korean adults consumed more processed food than the natural food, consuming more calories and most of the nutrients from the processed food overall total daily intakes. The intake of processed foods is expected to further increase in the future, and nutritional education and research on the ingestion and selection of healthy processed foods are necessary.

This study compared the nutrient intake of obese versus non-obese non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)patients for Diabetes Medical Nutrition Therapy. The study was conducted at medical hospitals in Gyeonggi and Seoul from April 2009 to November 2009. Fifty-six adult male NIDDM patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: 36 into an obese group (BMI ≥25) and 20 into a non-obese group (BMI<25). To conduct this study, anthropometric measurements,and daily nutrient intake of obese and non-obese NIDDM patients were measured. Daily nutrient intake was estimated by 24hr-recall and analyzed by the CAN program. In the results, anthropometric measurements of the two groups showed significant differences in weight and BMI (p<0.001). Daily nutrient intake of the two groups showed no significant differences, except for vitamin E intake (p<0.05). The total energy intake of the non-obese and obese groups were 2,669.9±964 kcal and 2,555.4±803 kcal, respectively, which were both above 113% of the recommended Dietary Reference Intakes for Korean (KDRIs). Cholesterol and sodium intake were 378.1±215.6 mg and 6,478.9±2755.1 mg,respectively for the non-obese group. Cholesterol and sodium intake were 308.1±155.6 mg and 6,306.8±2788.9 mg,respectively, for the obese group. Both groups were above 150% of the recommended levels set by the Korean Diabetes Association (KDA). However, their antioxidant nutrient intake was appropriate. Meanwhile, their fiber intake was 10.7±5.1g and 9.8±5.2 g, respectively, which was lower than 40% of the recommended intake set by the KDA. The results show that the nutritional education for obese and non-obese NIDDM male patients must aim to reduce total energy, cholesterol, and sodium intake, while increasing fiber intake. In addition, the factors related to a patient’s glycosylated hemoglobin, serum lipids, blood pressure, and weight change must be calibrated for the appropriate energy, fat, cholesterol, sodium, and dietary fiber intake.

This study was conducted to compare the health behaviors and nutrient intake according to work type among women aged 30-60 years. For this study, data from the 2015-2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey were used. Obesity rates were lowest among the paid workers, but highest among self-employed workers. The rates of skipping breakfast and the frequency of eating out were the highest among the paid workers. The intake of dietary supplements was the highest among the self-employed and the lowest among the non-workers. An analysis of the ratio of the intake of the three major nutrients showed that the protein intake was higher for self-employed and paid workers than for non-workers. In the survey of the intake by food group, the intake of sugar was high among paid workers. Fruit and seaweed intake was higher among non-workers, while the self-employed and paid workers had a higher beverage and alcohol intake. For nutrient density, the carbohydrate and iron intakes were higher in non-workers than in paid workers, and sodium intake was higher than that of the self-employed and non-workers. In this study, non-workers generally showed good health behavior and balanced nutrient intake, whereas paid workers and the self-employed showed poor health behavior, food intake, and nutrient intake.

24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법을 이용한 농촌지역 노인의 영양소 섭취수준 비교

조영은(Young-Eun Cho),이수림(Soo-Lim Lee),조은현(Eun-Hyun Cho),Ria-Ann L Lomeda,곽은희(Eun-Hee Kwak),김양하(Yang-Ha Kim),권인숙(In-Sook Kwun) 한국식품영양과학회 2006 한국식품영양과학회지 Vol.35 No.6

본 연구는 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사지를 이용하여 농촌지역 노인들의 영양소섭취량을 비교분석하였으며, 두 식이섭취조사방법 간의 상관성 및 타당성을 평가하였다. 조사대상자는 농촌지역 60세 이상 노인 168명(남자 89명, 여자 79명)이었으며, 그 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 평균연령은 67세(남 69, 여 66)였으며, 평균신장은 158 ㎝, 평균체중은 58.4 ㎏으로서, 본 연구의 농촌지역 남녀 노인의 평균신장 및 체중은 한국인 65~74세의 평균체중 및 신장보다 낮았다. 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법의 상관성 비교(Pearson's correlation)에서 남자노인의 식이섬유소 섭취량만이 p<0.01 수준에서 유의성을 나타내었으며, 나머지 영양소에서는 모두 낮은 상관계수를 나타내었다. 상관관계에서 비록 통계적 유의성을 보여주지는 못했지만 열량 및 대부분의 열량영양소들의 섭취량은 24시간회상법 및 식품섭취빈도조사법 모두에서 비슷한 수준으로 나타났다. 무기질(Ca, Na, K, P, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Se) 및 비타민 (비타민 A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin 및 비타민 C) 섭취량에 대한 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법의 상관성은 비록 유의적 상관성은 나타나지 않았으며, 대부분의 무기질 및 비타민 섭취량은 24시간회상법 및 식품섭취빈도조사법 모두에서 비슷한 수준으로 나타났다. 따라서 두 식이섭취조사방법에 의한 특정 농촌지역 노인들의 무기질 및 비타민 섭취량 측정은 타당성이 있는 것으로 간주된다. 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법에 의한 각 영양소의 영양권장량(RDA) 및 영양기준치(NRV)에 대한 비교에서, 각 영양소의 섭취량은 두 식이조사방법 간에 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 열량, 단백질, 지방 등의 대량영양소 및 대부분의 무기질, 비타민 모두에서 식품섭취빈도조사법에 의한 영양소 섭취율이 24시간회상법에 의한 섭취율보다 높게 나타났는데, 이는 식품섭취빈도조사법이 조사방법의 특성상 24시간 회상법에 의한 섭취율보다 높게 나올 수 있음을 입증하였다. 본 연구의 조사대상자인 농촌지역 노인인구 집단의 영양소섭취량 조사를 위해서는 24시간회상법 및 식이섭취조사법 모두를 사용함이 타당하다고 생각된다. 특히, 본 연구조사에서 여자노인의 경우는 남자노인에 비해 모든 영양소에서 식품섭취빈도조사법의 경우가 영양소섭취량이 더 높게 나타났으며, 이러한 현상은 동물성 영양소의 경우가 더 두드러졌다. 이는 농촌지역 여자노인들의 식물성 위주의 식품섭취가 예상되며 따라서 농촌여자노인의 영양상태가 남자노인들에 비해 상대적으로 더 불량할 것으로 예측된다. 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법을 이용하여 농촌지역 노인들의 영양소섭취량을 측정하여 비교한 본 연구결과를 종합해보면, 비록 두 식이섭취조사방법 간에 높은 상관성은 보여주지 못하였지만, 영양소섭취량은 두 방법 간에 비슷한 수준을 보여주어, 본 연구대상 특정 농촌지역 노인들의 영양소섭취량 조사에 24시간회상법 및 식품섭취빈도조사법 모두가 사용될 수 있음을 예견하였다. 노인인구 대상으로 보다 정확한 영양소 섭취량 측정을 할 수 있는 식품섭취빈도조사지 개발이 시급한 요구로 제시된다. Precise and correct assessment of nutrient intake using appropriate dietary intake method is necessary to improve the nutritional status of the target people group. It is more likely so in elderly people since their dietary habits and inadequate nutrient intakes are of special concern even worse in rural areas. Two popular methods of gathering dietary intake are 24-hour recall and food frequency method (or food frequency questionnaire). In the present study, we conducted both 24-hour recall and food frequency method on 120 rural elderly people (aged 65~74 years), 62 male and 58 female. The dietary intakes were analyzed and the correlation of the dietary intake between 24-hour recall and food frequency method to determine the reliability between two methods. Also each nutrient intake was compared to recommended dietary allowance (RDA) or nutrient reference value (NRV) as appropriate. Even correlation did not show significance between the two methods except for dietary fiber intake (0.65 at p<0.01) and energy-yielding nutrients which mostly showed similar results with nutrient intake level. These support the possible reliability between 24-hours record and food frequency method that is also shown on the cases of most mineral and vitamin intakes. Thus, the food frequency method used in this study for the assessment of nutrient intakes of the elderly people would be reliable for the assessment of the nutrient intake along with the 24-hour recall. Also, the present study results suggested that rural female elderly people would be under optimal nutriture status due to the lower food intake measured by 24-hour recall. The optimal food frequency method would be considered to be developed for the precise nutrient assessment.
