Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to estimate total sugar intake and sugar intake-related dietary habit and nutrient intake of middle school students. Methods: Subjects included 1,184 middle school students (476 males and 708 females) residing in Jeju. This research analyzed daily dietary intakes of subjects using the 24 hour recall method and surveyed the dietary habit related to total sugar intake using questionnaires. Descriptive analysis, chi-square test, t-test, and ANOVA, using the SAS program were used for analysis of data. Results: The average daily total sugar intake was 60.3 g (male 50.5 g, female 66.9 g). Total sugar intake per meal was 6.5 g (10.8%) from breakfast, 9.0 g (14.9%) from lunch, 11.8 g (19.6%) from dinner, and 33.0 g (54.7%) from snacks. Food groups that contribute to the majority of total sugar intake were grains and their products (23.0 g), milk (11.0 g), fruits and their products (7.3 g), sugars and sweets (6.1 g), and vegetables and their products (5.8 g). In terms of total sugar intakes by cooking methods, desserts showed a greater amount than main and side dishes, and indicated in order of amount as follows: bread and cookies (11.5 g), dairy products (7.5 g), ice cakes (6.2 g), beverages (5.3 g), and fruits (4.5 g). Total sugar consumption was high for rice and side dishes such as noodles (10.2 g), fried foods (2.9 g), stir-fried foods (2.0 g), and cooked rice with seasoning (1.7 g). The daily intake of natural sugar, added sugar, and natural and added sugar was 18.3 g, 35.8 g, and 6.2 g, respectively. The high sugar intake group, which was over 20% of the energy from total sugar intakes, consumed significantly less Fe, Zn, vitamin B6, niacin, and vitamin E than the low sugar intake group, which was below 20%. Conclusion: Total sugar intake of second graders of middle schools on Jeju Island was 60.3 g/day, mostly obtained from snacks (54.7%). Therefore, nutritional education for proper selection of better snacks and for reduction of dietary sugar intake is needed for middle school students.

본 연구는 제주지역 중학생 1,184명 (남학생 476명, 여학생 708명)에게 24시간 회상법으로 식사조사를 하여 총당류 섭취량을 추정하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 조사대상자의 1일 총당류 섭취량은 전체 60.3 g, 남학생 50.5 g, 여학생 66.9 g으로서 여학생이 남학생보다 유의하게 높았다. 1일 총당류 섭취량 중 각 개별 당류가 차지하는 비중은 서당 (23.9 g) > 포도당 (12.9 g) > 과당 (12.3 g) > 유당 (6.0 g) > 맥아당 (3.3 g)의 순이었다. 2. 끼니별 1일 총당류 섭취량은 아침 6.5g, 점심 9.0g, 저녁 11.8 g, 간식 33.0 g으로 간식에서 섭취하는 양이 가장 많았다. 식품군별 1일 총당류 섭취량은 곡류 (23.0 g) > 우유류 (11.0 g) > 과일류 (7.3 g) > 당류 (6.1 g) > 채소류 (5.8 g)의 순으로 높았다. 음식종류별 1일 총당류 섭취량은 빵 과자류 (11.5 g) >면류 (10.2 g) > 유제품류 (7.5 g) > 빙과류 (6.2 g) > 음료류 (5.3 g) > 과일류 (4.5 g) > 튀김류 (3.2 g)의 순이었다. 3. 조사대상자의 1일 총당류 섭취량 60.3 g 중 천연당은 18.3 g (30.3%), 첨가당은 35.8 g (59.4%), 혼합당은 6.2 g (10.3%) 이었다. 총당류에서 얻는 열량비율이 20% 이상인 고당류섭취군은 20% 미만인 사람에 비해 탄수화물, 칼슘, 비타민 B1, B2, C의 섭취량은 유의하게 높은 반면 철, 아연, 니아신, 비타민 B6, 비타민 E 섭취량은 유의하게 낮았다. 단맛선호군은 단맛저선호군에 비해 열량, 탄수화물 및 총 당류섭취량이 유의하게 높았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 제주지역 중학교 2학년 학생들의 1일 평균 총당류 섭취량은 60.3 g이었고, 이중 첨가당으로 인한 섭취가 59.4%로 가장 많았으며, 간식으로부터 섭취되는 비율이 가장 높았다. 따라서 중학생의 총당류 섭취량을 감소시키기 위해서는 올바른 간식 식품선택에 대한 영양교육이 필요하다.
