원주지역 여고생의 체중감량 시도 여부에 따른 체중조절 태도, 영양지식 및 식행동에 관한 연구

A Study on Weight Control Attitude, Nutrition Knowledge and Dietary Behavior by Weight Control Attempt of High School Female Students in Wonju Area

본 연구는 원주지역 여자고등학생 503명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 체중감량 시도 여부에 따라 체중조절 태도, 체중조절과 관련된 생활습관, 영양지식, 식행동에 대한 차이를 알아보았다. 조사대상자 중 체중감량을 시도한 여고생은 284명(58.4%)이었으며, 체중감량 시도군의 94.7%, 비시도군의 60.7%는 체중조절에 대한 관심이 높았다. 체중감량 시도군의 85.2%와 비시도군의 50.3%는 자신의 체형에 불만인 것으로 나타났다. 체중감량 시도군의 21.8%는 규칙적으로 운동을 하여 비시도군(5.5%)의 운동자 비율보다 높은 비율을 보였다. 대상자의 영양지식점수는 평균 14.3점(20점 만점)으로 체중감량 시도군(14.5점)은 비시도군(13.9점)에 비해 유의하게 점수가 높게 나타났으며(p<0.01), 특히 균형식, 체중조절 관련 지식 등의 항목에서 정답률이 높았다. 식행동은 평균 31.3점(가능점수: $15{\sim}445$점)으로 보통인 편이었고, 특히 식사속도, 다양한 음식섭취, 식품군별 섭취빈도(유제품, 해조류, 식물성 유지)에서 문제가 나타났으며, 체중감량 시도군은 비시도군에 비해 식물성 기름을 사용한 음식을 먹는 비율이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구결과 여고생들에게 체형에 대한 올바른 인식과 체형에 대한 만족도를 높여주는 영양교육을 해야 할 것이며, 이들에게 올바른 체중조절을 위한 방법과 바람직한 식생활 행동을 할 수 있는 교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a questionnaire survey for total 503 high school female students in Wonju area, Kangwon province, and thereby determine any potential effectiveness of their trials to reduce weight in their satisfaction with their own figure, daily living practices related to weight control, nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviors. Out of all respondents, it was found that 284 girl students(58.4%) ever tried to reduce weight, and both trial group(trying to reduce weight) and no-trial group were much interested in weight control(94.7% vs. 60.7%). But 85.2% of trial group and 50.3% of no-trial group were dissatisfied at their figure. It was found that the percentage of trial group practicing regular exercise was higher than that of no-trial group doing so(21.8% vs. 5.5%). Subjects scored 14.3 out of 20 on a nutrition knowledge scale, but trial group scored significantly higher points(14.5) than no-trial group(13.9)(p<0.01). In particular, it was notable that trial group showed higher rate of correct answer in certain items such as balanced diet and knowledge about weight control. It was found that our all respondents showed moderate dietary behaviors, which is demonstrated by their mean score of 31.3 in dietary behaviors(possible score: $15{\sim}45$). Notably, it was found that there were problems exposed in their dietary velocity, intake of various diets and intake frequency for each food group(dairy products, marine plants and vegetative oil and fat). And it was found that the percentage of trial group taking diet with vegetative oil was higher than that of no-trial group.
