  • Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the change in the obesity index in girls receiving a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa), based on treatment duration, and to aid in nutritional counseling by investigating dietary habits and lifestyle. Methods: Anthropometric examinations were conducted on 62 girls treated with GnRHa from January 2010 through July 2014. Parents were asked to fill out questionnaires on patient dietary habits and lifestyle. Results: The group taking GnRHa for over 1 year had a higher rate of obesity increase than the group taking GnRHa for less than 1 year, but they had common habits related to obesity, which should be corrected. In addition, 69.2% of the normal weight group taking GnRHa for over 1 year gained weight, and needed more intensive programs, which include physical exercise and nutritional education. Although girls with precocious puberty showed a decrease in the intake of high-calorie foods with nutritional intervention regardless of treatment duration, they still had problems that needed improvement, such as shorter meals and lack of exercise. Conclusion: Girls with precocious puberty and their parents should emphasize maintenance of proper body weight, especially when treatment for over 1 year is anticipated. Consistent education in nutrition, ways to increase intensity and duration of physical activity, and the need to slow down mealtimes are important in managing obesity; doctors need to perform regular checkups and provide nutritional counseling.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop of nutritional education activities and effect evaluation in related curriculums for all Dongbu Elementary School children in Jinhae by the teacher in charge. This educational purpose was to build a desirable dietary behavior for optimal growth and health in elementary school children. The educational program contents were developed according to 1) selection of content related curriculums 2) analysis of contents related on dietary habits by grade 3) preparation teaching plans to build desirable dietary habits 4) development of teaching manual by turns. Twelve hours of nutrition education at all school classes were done from March 2 to December 10 2004 in Dongbu Elementary School in Jinhae, Gyeongnam. The education effects were evaluated through the questionnaire surveys before and after the education and their comparative analysis. The results of this study were summarized as follows : Forty percent of the underweight group, $22.8\%$ of the normal group, $42.2\%$ of the obese group had the wrong perceptions on their body figures, but after nutrition education $80.5\%$ of the underweight group, $94.3\%$ of the normal group, $97.9\%$ of the obese group gleaned the correct perceptions on their body figures (p < 0.001). As the effects of the education, the subjects who exercise more than 3 times in a week increased in all groups (p < 0.01-0.001), notably in the obese group. Meal regularity (p < 0.001) , skipping meals (p < 0.001), eating rate and snack selection patterns (p < 0.01-p < 0.001) also improved by nutrition education. We could also observe the effects of the nutrition education through the affirmative statements which appeared in their dietary records. These results showed a possibility of nutrition education activities in related curriculums to improve in dietary habits of school children. Next year, we will start with the system of nutrition teachers in elementary school, but nutrition teacher cannot undertake the task of teaching and food service management alone. Because of that, we intend to develop this program as an alternative proposal for the nutrition education in elementary schools. (Korean J Community Nutrition 10(6) $795\∼804$, 2005)

  • The objective of this research was to study the differences between urban and rural areas high school students in body image and dietary habits. The number of subjects in Seoul and Kyungkido were 902. Based on self-reported height and weight, there was no significant difference between the urban and rural students. However, the rate of obesity was significantly higher in males, whereas the rate of underweight was significantly higher in females, especially for urban females (p < 0.05). Their ideal body image ratio as skinny or slender-type was 91.6% (urban) and 95.7% (rural) for male category while 100% (urban) and 99.4% (rural) for females. Urban females had a strong preference for a skinny body (p < 0.05). Rural students were more highly interested in weight control than urban students were, but they appeared not to care their health. In addition, they had significantly lower levels of weight control knowledge and dietary attitude score (p < 0.001). Subjective assessment of body weight appeared to be more important in terms of body satisfaction, weight control knowledge and dietary attitude than actual measurement of body mass index. Significant test revealed that weight control knowledge was related to dietary attitude (p < 0.01). (p < 0.01).

  • This study was performed to investigate the nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and dietary habits of physical education (PE) major and non-majors of male college students. The subjects were 253 students residing in Gyeonggi area. Nutrition knowledge scores of PE major students were lower than that of non-major students. Both PE major and non-major students reported TV, radio, and internet as their primary sources of nutrition information. Overall dietary attitude scores of two groups did not differ significantly, but PE major students showed more positive attitudes than non-major students for 'Enjoy eating foods that are good for health'. PE major students took more number of meals a day and took more irregularly than non-major students. Also they used more nutrient supplements than non-major students. PE major students drank more amounts of alcohol and drank more frequently than non-major students. But the smoking status of the two groups was not significantly different. PE major students scored higher than non-major students in dietary habits on balance of meals in spite of their low nutrition knowledge scores. Therefore, it is suggested that nutritional programs for PE major and non-major college students should be developed. (Korean J Community Nutrition 14(4) : $363{\sim}373$, 2009)

  • This study was conducted to obtain principal data on nutrition education according to college major after analyzing the nutrition status of 302 male university subjects. The 302 male subjects consisted of male students majoring in literature and science (109), food and nutrition (94), and physical education (99). Exactly 47.9% (highest among the groups) of male students majoring in food and nutrition ate regular meals, 39.4% ate breakfast. Precisely 29.4% of subjects majoring in literature and science never ate out. Exactly 23.2% of subjects majoring in physical education over ate frequently, and 31.3% enjoyed eating out. Intakes of protein, fat, vitamin A, $B_1$, $B_2$, $B_6$, C, E, folic acid, Ca, Fe, sodium, and cholesterol among male students majoring in food and nutrition appeared to be significantly higher compared to those of other groups (p<0.05). Intakes of energy, Zn, dietary fiber, and cholesterol among male students majoring in physical education were higher, whereas intakes of all nutrients except for dietary fiber by subjects majoring in literature and science were lower than the other two groups. Exactly 20.2% of male students were interested in health. We found that 52.4% of subjects considered exercise as an important factor for maintaining health. Smoking rate was the highest (43.6%) among male students majoring in nutrition, and the drinking rate was highest (56.0%) among male students majoring in literature and science. We found that smoking was continued as a habit (61.5%) while drinking was essential for social relationships (73.9%). From this study, it was found that male students have problems associated with eating regular meals, skipping breakfast, overeating, and intake of unbalanced foods. Also, male students who majored in food and nutrition demonstrated problems in applying their knowledge to proper dietary habits. In conclusion, a systemic educational program needs to be introduced to promote healthful dietary habits in male students.

  • Objectives: This study was performed to examine dietary habits, life stress, and nutrition knowledge among high school students in Gyeonggi area. Methods: A total of 431 high school students (210 males, 221 females) in Gyeonggi area participated in this study from November to December of 2011. The study was a questionnaire-based survey that included dietary habits, dietary attitudes, life stress, and nutrition knowledge. Results: Body weight, height, and body mass index were all higher in male students than in female students (P < 0.001, respectively). For dietary habits, the average score (P < 0.01) and scores for considering combination of food groups (P < 0.05), eating green and orange vegetables (P < 0.05), eating meat, fish, eggs, or beans everyday (P < 0.05), drinking milk (P < 0.001), and eating seaweed (P < 0.01) were higher in male students than in female students. For dietary attitudes, the average score (P < 0.05) and scores for the five items were significantly different between male and female students. Male students showed a significantly lower nutrition knowledge score than female students (P < 0.05). Life stress score of students largely was attributable to academic factors, and female students showed higher stress score for academic, personal, and surrounding environmental (P < 0.05, respectively) factors than male students. Dietary habit score (P < 0.01) and nutrition knowledge score (P < 0.05) in female students as well as dietary attitude score (P < 0.05) in male students were negatively correlated with life stress score. Dietary habit scores in male and female students were positively correlated with dietary attitude score (P < 0.01, respectively). Need for nutrition education was significantly higher in female students than in male students (P < 0.05). Conclusions: This study provides basic information on dietary habits, dietary attitudes, life stress, and nutrition knowledge according to sex and suggests gender-specific practical nutrition education programs to address undesirable dietary habits and attitudes in students with higher stress levels.

  • This study was performed to investigate the dietary habits and nutritional knowledge of elementary school students (boy : 250, girl : 250) by gender. Frequency of skipping breakfast was high in both boys and girls. Duration of mealtime was significantly higher for boys compared with girls (p<0.001). Regularity of meals was not significantly different between boys and girls. Reason for irregular meals was 'no appetite' for both boys (39.6%) and girls (40.0%). Unbalanced diet was high in both boys (60.8%) and girls (59.6%), and problems related to dietary habits were in order of 'unbalance diet', 'irregular mealtime', 'overeating', 'skip a meal frequently', and 'eat out frequently'. Frequency of snack intake was significantly higher for girls compared to boys(p<0.05). The criterion for selecting snacks was higher for 'nutrition' compared to 'good taste' for both boys and girls. Frequency of eating out was statistically insignificant, and eating out preferences were in the order of 'Korean food', 'western food', and 'Chinese food'. Eating behavior 'eat meat, fish, egg, tofu every meal' was significantly higher for boys compared to girls (p<0.01). 'Healthful' response rates were 57.6% for boys and 58.8% for girls. Practice level of nutritional knowledge was significantly higher in girls compared to boys (p<0.001). To establish good eating behaviors, we should develop systematic and continuous education programs.

  • 본 연구는 알코올중독자의 영양지식과 식습관 및 영양섭취상태의 특성을 알아보고, 영양교육이 이들 특성에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 수행되었다. 알코올중독으로 병원에 입원한 37명 환자를 연구대상자로 하였으며, 이들의 영양지식과 식습관은 설문지를 이용하여 조사하였고, 영양교육은 80분짜리 5차시 분량의 프로그램을 제작해 실시하였다. 본 연구대상자는 40대 중반의 남성이었으며, 정상 체위를 지녔고, 병원에 입원하기 전 음주 빈도가 높고, 음주량이 많으며, 소주를 선호하는 음주습관을 지니고 있었다. 이들은 저 학력, 중 하류층 직업, 독거 비율이 높은 가족형태 등 사회경제적 수준이 열악한 편이었고, 자신의 건상상태에 대한 인식은 낮은 경향이었으며, 간 질환을 비롯한 질병 보유율이 높아, 삶의 질이 취약한 편이었다. 영양교육 실시 전 이들의 영양지식은 1점 만점에 0.52점으로 비교적 낮은 수준이었고, 식습관은 3점 만점에 1.70점으로 바람직하지 않은 경향이었다. 영양섭취상태도 에너지와 식이섬유를 비롯해 본 연구에서 조사한 8종의 비타민 중에 비타민 C, 티아민, 리보플라빈 및 엽산이 영양섭취기준을 충족하지 못했고, 6종의 무기질 중에서는 칼슘과 칼륨은 영양섭취기준에 미치지 못한 반면에 나트륨 섭취는 과다한 문제점을 보였다. 그러나 영양교육을 받은 후 본 연구대상자의 영양지식이 0.81점으로 유의하게 향상되었고, 식습관은 2.13점으로 유의성 있게 개선되었으며, 영양섭취상태도 다음과 같이 유의적으로 향상되었다. 즉 에너지, 탄수화물, 식이섬유, 비타민 E를 제외한 비타민 A, 비타민 C, 비타민 $B_6$, 티아민, 리보플라빈, 엽산 및 니아신, 칼슘, 인, 칼륨, 철분, 아연 모두 섭취가 증가했다. 반면에 나트륨 섭취는 감소했으나 여전히 목표섭취량의 256%에 달하였지만, 감소했으며, 이러한 결과 Na/K 섭취 비율이 저하되었다. 이와 같은 본 연구결과는, 비록 연구대상자가 광주광역시에 소재한 G병원에 입원 중인 소수의 성인남자 환자였다는 제한점은 있으나, 알코올중독 입원환자의 경우 영양지식 정도가 낮고, 식습관이 좋지 않으며, 영양섭취상태가 불량한 편이지만 이들에게 비교적 단기간의 영양교육을 실시함으로써 이러한 문제점들을 긍정적으로 변화시킬 수 있다는 점을 확인해 주었다. 그러므로 알코올중독전문병원 등 알코올중독자의 재활을 돕는 현장에서 영양교육의 필요성을 인식하고 영양교육을 적극 실시하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study aimed to evaluate the health concern, eating habits, dietary behavior, and psychological stress among middle-aged adults in Chungnam according to their exercise status. A total of 437 adults with a mean age of 42.6 years participated in this study and completed a questionnaire survey. The subjects were divided into one of three groups according to their exercise status: never doing exercise (NDE; n=144), doing exercise once a week (DEO; n=186), and doing exercise twice a week or more (DET; n=107). Results demonstrated significant differences in concern about health, subjective health status, meal regularity, dietary problems, and stress score among the three groups. The DET and DEO groups were more concerned about their health (p<0.001), and had a perception that their health status was better than that of the NDE group (p<0.01). A larger percentage of the DET group had breakfast everyday (p<0.05) and a smaller percentage of the DET group had dietary problems such as irregular mealtime and skipping meals (p<0.01), compared to the other groups. The average stress score of the DET group was significantly lower than that of the DEO and NDE groups (p<0.05). The results reveal that doing regular exercising at least twice a week is associated with higher health concern, more desirable dietary habits, and lower psychological stress in middle-aged adults. These findings support the beneficial effects of regular exercise for health, dietary habits, and stress control.

  • 본 연구에서는 12주간 중년 비만여성을 대상으로 체중조절 프로그램 (영양교육 및 상담, 운동요법)을 실시하여 식습관, 혈액성분, 체성분의 변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. 영양 교육실시 후 식습관에서는 식사의 규칙성, 간식섭취횟수, 외식횟수 및 식사속도 등이 긍정적으로 개선되었다. 혈액지질 성분과 혈압에서는 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, LDL-콜레스테롤, 수축기 혈압이 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 동맥경화지수와 이완기 혈압도 유의적인 차이는 없었지만 감소하였다. 비만지표인 BMI와 WHR (허리-엉덩이 둘레비)이 유의적으로 감소되어 체중이 감량됨을 알 수 있었고 체지방률, 지방량도 유의적으로 감소되었으며, 근육량은 유의적인 차이는 없었지만 약간의 증가를 가져와서 장기적으로 체성분의 긍정적인 변화를 기대할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 미루어 효율적인 비만관리를 위해서는 획일적인 방법보다는 대상자들의 특성을 고려하여 식행동 개선에 초점을 맞춘 영양교육 및 상담과 아울러 운동요법을 병행하여관리가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 그러기 위해서는 각 영역의 전문가들의 긴밀한 협조와 노력으로 실질적인 건강향상을 위한 체계적인 비만관리 프로그램이 이루어져 비만을 예방하고 건강지표 향상을 가져와 국민건강 증진에 도움이 될 것으로 본다.
