Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the nutrients intake situation and the physical growth and development of junior high school girls in cheju island, the peculiar area in Korea, and to study every possible correlation ketween daily food intake and growth rate of them. Further, it made an attempt to research nutrition problems for them in this area and assist in their growth and development through proper nutritional marragement. The survey was conducted in seven sample schods selected randomly from all three districts -this is Bukcheju-gun, Namcheju-gun and cheju city-of cheju Island. Four hundred eighteen girls, aged thirteen years ald, in second year grade of junior high schools, were provided with prepared questionnaires. For six days, July $16{\sim}21$ in 1975, the respondents filled out the questionnaires. They were asked to keep record of what they ate each meat. Their mitrients intake were analyzed in accordance with their daily food intake records during a six day period. On the other side, including physical growth index calculated by means of weight and hight of the respondents, their school records were also investigated. Critical Ratio as well as percentage calculation were included for statistical analysis. The findings and results abtained are summarized as follows: (1) Living circumstance a) Average numbers of brother and sister in sampled pupils' family were five. b) Niety percent of the respondents were brought up by mother's milk at their infants and 45 percent of them were weaned at the age of 13 to 24 months. c) Fourty-six percent of them revealed irregulity in their meal time. d) The most favorite main dish was boiled rice mixed other cereals (34%), next bread (31%) and boiled noodle (26%), and kimchi was the most papular side dish (64%). (2) Nutrition survey a) The average calorie intake of a pupil per day was 1,783 cal. and the total calorie intake was composed of carbohydrate 73%, pratein 15%, fat 12% respectively. b) Carolie and nutrients were lower than the recommended level, except vitamins A,$B_1$ and Niacin, c) Average protein intake per day was 68g, which was relatively near to the recommended level, but in fact, most of them came from grain which is lacking in essential amino acids. The ratio of animal protein intake to tatal protein intake was 36%. d) Their average animal food intake was proportionated in 14% in their total food intake and the cereals consumed in the largest quantity at the level of 63% out of whole food groups. (3) The results of statistical analysis a) The correlation between the calorie intake and the physical growth index revealed statistical significancy at the level of P<.005. b) The correlation between the protein intake and the physical growth index revealed statistical significancy at the level of .01

제주도내 중학교 2학년 여학생 418명에게 일반적인 환경실태, 영양섭취 실태를 조사하고 성장발육과의 관계를 요약해 보면 다음과 같다. A. 조사대상자의 일반 실태 1. 형제의 수는 대부분이 $5{\sim}6$명이었다. 2. 유아기에는 90%가 모유로 양육되었으며 이유는 $7{\sim}12$개월이 20.9%이고 $13{\sim}24$개월이 45%였다. 3. 식사시간이 불규칙한 학생은 45.7%이며 불규칙한 이유는 식욕부족과 시간부족이 각각 42.9%, 31.9%였다. 4. 1년을 기준해서 병으로 결석하는 일수는 $2{\sim}5$일이 52%였다. 5. 기호 실태에 있어서는 주식으로는 잡곡밥이 45%, 식빵이 30.6%, 국수는 26.3%가 즐기고 40.7%나 흰밥을 제일 싫어하고 있다. 부식으로는 계란, 쇠고기, 닭고기, 김치류를 좋아하고 버터, 돼지고기, 나물류를 싫어한다. 간식은 아이스크림, 우유, 과일, 과즙, 빵 등을 좋아하고 호콩 등을 좋아하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. B. 영양섭취 실태 1. 열량섭취 평균은 1,738Ca1, 총 섭취열량에 대한 탄수화물의 비율은 73%, 단백질이 15%, 지방이 12% 로 나타났다. 2. 열량 및 모든 영양소가 권장량에 미달이나 vitamin A. $B_{1}$. Niacin 등은 권장량에 달하고 있다. 3. 단백질이 1일(日) 평균 섭취량은 68g 으로서 권장량 75g에 가깝다. 총 단백질에 대한 동물성 단백질이 비율은 36%로 나타났다. 4. 총식품 섭취량에 있어서 동물성 식품이 평균섭취 비율은 14%, 곡류가 63%를 차지하고 있다. C. 영양 섭취실태, 성장발육, 지능과의 상호관계 1. 열량 섭취량과 성장발육은 상호 의의(意義)있는 결과가 나타났다. 2. 단백질 섭취량과 성장발육도 상호관계가 의의(意義)있는 결과가 나타났다. 3. 열량과 단백질 섭취와 지능과의 상호관계는 의미가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 이같은 상호 관계의 결과를 보면 영양과 성장발육은 직접적인 관계가 있다고 지적되고 반면 영양과 지능과의 관계는 간접적인 영향이 있을 뿐이라고 결론을 내릴 수 있다.
