A Study on the Intake-Balance of Protein and Calcium in Korean High School Girls

한국인 여자 고등학생의 단백질과 칼슘 평형에 관한 연구

In this study, the food intake, feces and urine of the seven high school girls were collected and the intake and excretion of protein and calcium were measured. The girls were 16 to 18 years old and the measurement continued for four weeks during which they maintained their normal living pattern and body weight. Each girl's daily intake and excretion of protein and calcium were measured and apparent digestibility and balance were also studied. The results are as follows ; Daily mean intake, feral loss and apparent digestibility of protein of each girl were 58.18$\pm$1.15g, 7.65$\pm$0.27g and 86.5$\pm$0.6%, respectively. The urinary loss of nitrogen was 7.39 $\pm$ 0.16g and showed the positive balance of 0.70$\pm$0.22g. Daily mean intake, fecal loss and apparent digestibility of calcium of each girl were 395.0$\pm$13.0mg, 233.6$\pm$15.9mg and 40.1$\pm$4.0%, respectively. The urinary luis of calcium was 145.7$\pm$7.6mg and showed the positive balance of 15.7$\pm$15.0mg.

본 연구는 16~18세 여자 고등학생 7명을 대상으로 평상시와 같은 생활양식과 적정 체중을 유지시키면서 4주간 각 대상자들이 섭취한 모든 식이와 배설한 대변 및 소변 중 단백질 및 칼슘의 함량을 측정하여 1일 1인당 섭취량과 배설량을 측정하였고, 이로부터 흡수율과 평형상태를 관찰하였다. 1일 1인당 평균 단백질 섭취량은 58.15$\pm$1.15g, 대변을 통한 단백질 손실량은 7.65$\pm$0.27g으로 평균 소화흡수율은 86.5$\pm$0.6% 이었다. 소변을 통한 질소 배설량은 7.39$\pm$0.16g으로 0.70$\pm$0.22g의 양성 평형상태를 보였다. 1일 1인당 평균 칼슘 섭취량은 395.0$\pm$13.0mg, 대변을 통한 칼슘 손실량은 233.6$\pm$15.9mg으로 평균 소화흡수율은 40.1$\pm$4.0% 이었다. 소변을 통한 칼슘 배설량은 145.7$\pm$7.6mg으로 15.7$\pm$15.0mg의 양성 평형상태를 보였다.
