국민영양조사 개선을 위한 지역사회 영양조사연구 - 지식, 실기, 태도, 식행동을 중심으로 -

The purpose of this study is to develop the nutritional survey indices such as the Knowledge(K), Knowledge Practice(KP), Attitude(A), and Food Practice(FP) as effective materials of the nutrition education and evaluation in spreading community nutrition service. These materials were applied to two groups(126 rural people and 117 urban people) from August 1st to September 10th, 1996. We investigated actual conditions of objects about K, KP, A, FP by interviews. Also we measured serum cholesterol levels of all objects by Accutelend G.C. The results of the research turned out as follows; 1). In the comparison of the nutritional Knowledge scores, the average score of urban people was much higher($84.2{\pm}2.4$) than rural people($42.1{\pm}3.1$). 2). In the scores of the Knowledge Practice, urban people had also significantly higher score than rural people. But only 19.5% of urban people had high scores between 80 and 100, and 42.4% of urban people and 87.3% of rural people had scores between 0 and 40. 3). The average scores of the Attitude were not significantly different between urban and rural people. The average scores of the Food Practice were not significantly different between urban and rural people. 4). In cholesterol measurements, only three of 243 people were in the abnormal high levels(more than 250mg/dl), and they are all over 60 years old, and two of them were rural people. 5). The people who were younger in age, higher in educational level and spent more money for foods had higher scores on K, KP, A and FP. And the people who were younger in age in age and more money spent for foods had higher scores on FP. Regression analysis showed that the serum cholesterol levels were not associated with the scores of FP.
