Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated an association between dietary quality and use of convenience foods at convenience stores among high school students. Methods: A total of 474 high school students (225 boys and 249 girls) residing in Incheon participated in this questionnaire survey in June 2018. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the frequency of consumption of convenience foods at convenience stores; less than once a week, 1 ~ 2 times a week, and more than 3 times a week. Dietary quality was assessed using a nutrient quotient for adolescents (NA-Q). Logistic regression was used to investigate an association between dietary quality and use of convenience foods at convenience stores among high school students. Results: For boys and girls, higher monthly allowance was significantly associated with the higher frequency of consumption of convenience foods at convenience stores, whereas school grade, mother's occupational status, family size, extracurricular study, and eating speed were not significantly associated with the frequency of consumption of convenience foods. Higher intake frequency of cookies or sweet and greasy bread, processed beverage, Ramyon, night-time snack, and street food was significantly associated with the higher frequency of consumption of convenience foods for boys or girls. Boys and girls, who had a higher frequency of consumption of convenience foods at convenience stores had significantly greater odds for being in the low grade of dietary quality, especially in the moderation factor. Conclusion: The students who used convenience stores more often appeared to have more monthly allowance and to consume undesirable foods more often. Higher frequency of using convenience foods at convenience stores among high school students was associated with lower dietary quality. These study results can support efforts to provide nutrition education programs and guidelines to students who frequently use convenience foods at convenience stores.

빠르고 손쉽게 먹을 수 있으면서 청소년의 입맛을 자극하는 편의식의 섭취증가와 이에 따른 영양 불균형이 우려되는 상황에서 본 연구에서는 고등학교 남녀 청소년의 편의점 편의식 빈도에 따라 식습관, 생활습관 및 청소년영양지수 (NQ-A)를 평가하여 청소년의 편의식의 이용과 식사의 질과의 관련성을 규명하였다. 연구대상은 인천지역의 고등학교에 재학중인 고등학생 474명 (남자 225명, 여자 249명)이었고, 2018년 6월에 조사를 실시하였다. 대상자의 평균 연령은 16.7세였으며, 대상자의 편의점 이용 빈도에 따라 '주1회미만군', '주1~2회군', '주3회이상군'의 세 군으로 분류였고, 남학생의 경우 주1회미만군은 32.4%, 주1 ~ 2회군 35.6%, 주3회이상군 32.0%였으며, 여학생의 경우 주1회미만군은 35.6%, 주1~2회군 44.6%, 주3회이상군 16.9%이었다. 남녀 대상자 모두에서 편의점 이용 빈도에 따른 세 군의 학년분포, 어머니의 직업 유무, 가족원수, 과외학습 상태, 식사에 소요되는 시간은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 남녀 모두에서 세 군간의 용돈 분포는 유의적인 차이를 보이면서 편의점 이용 빈도가 높은 대상자들의 용돈이 높게 나타났다 (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). 남학생의 경우 편의점 편의점 이용빈도가 증가할수록 과자 또는 달거나 기름진 빵, 라면, 길거리 음식의 섭취빈도가 증가하고, 콩/두부의 섭취 빈도와 영양표시 확인률이 감소하는 관련성이 나타났다. 여학생의 경우는 편의점 편의점 이용빈도가 증가할수록 음료, 라면, 야식, 길거리 음식의 섭취 빈도가 증가하는 관련성이 제시되었다. 청소년영양지수를 이용한 실사의 질 평가에서 남녀학생 모두 편의점 이용빈도가 증가할수록 실사의 질이 낮아졌고 영역별 평가에서는 균형, 다양, 환경, 실천 영역은 편의점 이용빈도에 따른 유의적인 관련성을 보이지 않았으나, 절제 영역이 유의적으로 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 통하여 편의점 이용 빈도가 높은 학생들은 라면 등의 편의식 및 달거나 기름진 간식류, 음료류의 섭취빈도가 높으며 야식이나 길거리 음식 섭취빈도가 높은 식행동 특성을 보였다. 청소년영양지수를 이용한 식사의 질 평가결과에서도 편의점 이용빈도가 높은 남녀 고등학생에서 총 식사의 질과 절제 영역의 점수가 낮은 유의적인 관련성이 제시되었다. 이와 같이 고등학생의 높은 편의점 편의식의 이용은 바람직하지 못한 식행동 및 식사의 질 저하와 연관성이 있으므로 이에 대한 올바른 식습관지도가 필요하다고 사료된다.
