Abstract

Purpose: In this study, data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018) were used to examine the relationship between the prevalence of anemia and dietary intake among adults according to household types. Methods: Using data from a total of 10,646 subjects (4,428 men and 6,218 women), the general information, body measurements, results of biochemical examination, food and nutrient intake, and meal quality evaluation were analyzed according to the type of household. Results: The prevalence of anemia was higher in men belonging to single-person households (SPH) than in those from multi-person households (MPH), while anemia prevalence was higher among the women in the MPH than in the SPH. The men in SPH had a lower total food intake of nuts, vegetables, fruits, fish, and seaweed than the men in MPH, and consumed higher quantities of milk, oil, and processed foods. The women from SPH had a lower intake of seaweed and a higher intake of milk than those belonging to the MPH. In addition, the men in SPH had a lower iron intake and iron intake per 1,000kcal than the men in MPH, lower iron intake through plant-based foods, and a lower iron intake ratio compared to the reference nutrient intake. The total Korean Healthy Eating Index (KHEI) score was lower in both men and women in SPH than in those from the MPH. When analyzing the relationship between household type and anemia risk after correcting for the confusion variable, the risk of anemia in men in SPH increased compared to those belonging to the MPH. However, women showed no such significant correlation. There was no relationship between the total KHEI score and the risk of anemia by gender and household type. Conclusion: In conclusion, since anemia in men belonging to SPH is a matter of concern, it is essential to develop guidelines for anemia-related nutrition education for men living alone.

본 연구에서는 국민건강영양조사 제7기 (2016-2018년) 자료를 활용하여 가구 유형에 따른 빈혈 유병률과 식이 섭취와의 관계를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 빈혈 유병률은 남성 1인 가구가 다인 가구보다 높았으며, 여성은 다인 가구가 1인 가구보다 높았다. 식품 섭취량은 남성 1인 가구는 다인 가구보다 총 식품 섭취량, 견과류, 채소류, 과일류, 생선류, 해조류의 섭취량이 낮았으며, 우유류, 유지류, 가공식품 섭취량이 높았다. 또한 남성 1인 가구는 다인 가구보다 식물성 식품을 통한 철 섭취량이 적었으며, 철의 영양섭취량과 영양 밀도, 영양소섭취기준 RNI 대비 섭취비율이 낮았고, 75% RNI 미만 섭취비율과 EAR 미만 섭취비율이 더 높았다. 여성 1인 가구는 다인 가구보다 해조류의 섭취량이 적었고, 우유류의 섭취량이 많았다. 남성과 여성 모두 KHEI 총점은 1인 가구가 다인 가구보다 낮았다. 교란인자를 보정하여 가구 유형과 빈혈 위험도의 관계를 분석하였을 때에는 남성 1인 가구가 다인 가구보다 빈혈 위험도가 높았으나, 여성은 관련을 보이지 않았다. 또한, 남성과 여성 모두 총 KHEI 점수와 가구 유형별 빈혈 위험도는 관련성이 없었다. 결론적으로, 우리나라의 1인 가구와 빈혈 유병율이 증가하는 가운데, 남성 1인 가구가 다인 가구보다 식이 요인으로 인한 빈혈 위험이 더 높음이 확인되었기에, 남성 1인 가구에서의 빈혈 예방 및 관리를 위한 식사지침이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
