Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted for comparison of salty taste assessment, salty taste preference, high-salt dietary attitude, and high-salt dietary behavior by stages of behavior change among school-aged children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 1,595 students (1,126 school- aged children, 469 adolescents) from 43 elementary schools and 17 middle and high schools in Daegu were tested using salty taste kits and surveyed using questionnaires on stages of behavior change, high-salt dietary attitude, and behavior. Results: Adolescents showed a significantly higher result for salty taste assessment than school-aged children (p < 0.01). In salty taste assessment, the students of pre-contemplation stage (n = 498) and contemplation stage (n = 686) showed higher scores than students of action stage (n = 351) and maintenance stage (n = 60). Regarding the salty taste preference, students of maintenance stage preferred the lower two samples (0.08%, 0.16%) and students of pre-contemplation stage preferred the higher two samples (0.63%, 1.25%). High-salt dietary attitude scores and dietary behavior scores were highest for students of pre-contemplation stage and were lowest for students of maintenance stage. Conclusion: Salty taste assessment, high-salt dietary attitude, and high-salt dietary behavior were significantly different by stages of behavior change among school-aged children and adolescents. This study suggests the need for examination of the stages of behavior change before nutrition education for effective education.

본 연구는 초중등학생들을 대상으로 싱겁게 먹기 행동변화단계별로 짠맛 미각판정치, 짜게 먹는 식태도 및 식행동의 차이를 분석하고 추후 이들을 위한 싱겁게 먹기 영양교육을 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 하였다. 싱겁게 먹기 행동변화단계별 비교 결과, "싱겁게 먹으려고 생각해 본적이 없다" (고려전단계, n = 492)와 "앞으로 6개월 이내 싱겁게 먹으려고 생각하고 있다 (고려단계, n = 686)"는 학생들이 "싱겁게 먹기를 실천하고 있다 (행동단계, n = 351)"와 "싱겁게 먹은 지 6개월이 지났다 (유지단계, n = 60)"는 학생들보다 짠맛 미각판정치가 유의하게 높았다 (p < 0.001). 짠맛 선호도는 유지단계 학생들의 경우 고려전과 고려단계의 학생들보다 가장 낮은 두 염도에 대한 선호도가 더 높았으며 (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), 높은 두 염도에 대한 선호도는 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다 (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). 또한 싱겁게 먹기 행동단계별 짜게 먹는 식태도와 식행동 점수는 고려전단계 학생들이 가장 높은 점수를 보였고, 유지단계 학생들이 가장 낮은 점수를 나타내었으며, 각 단계 간에 모두 유의한 차이를 나타내었다 (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). 이상의 결과, 싱겁게 먹기 행동변화단계에서 고려전과 고려단계 학생들의 짠맛 미각판정치, 짜게 먹는 식태도와 식행동 점수가 행동단계나 유지단계의 학생들보다 모두 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 나트륨 저감화 교육을 실시할 때 학생들의 싱겁게 먹기 행동변화단계를 먼저 파악하여 행동변화단계에 맞는 행동수정전략을 적용하는 것이 필요함을 시사한다.
