본 연구는 아토피피부염을 가지고 있는 아동과 정상 아동의 식습관, 식품섭취양상 및 영양소섭취상태 비교를 위해 서울 소재 1개교와 울산의 2개 초등학교에 재학 중인 5, 6학년 388명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용하여 실시되었다. 조사는 2008년 7월 7일부터 7월 18일까지 총 2주간 실시하였으며, 조사대상자 중 아토피피부염군은 16.7%(65명), 정상 아동군은 83.3%(323명)로 나타났다. 아토피피부염 아동군은 남학생 29명, 여학생 36명으로 남아보다는 여아에게서 더 호발 되었으며 대부분 7-13세에 아토피피부염이 유발된 것으로 나타났다. 아토피피부염 아동군 중 병원치료를 받고 있는 경우는 20.0%였고 아토피피부염 유발에 영향을 주는 식품인 튀김, 패스트푸드, 우유 등의 섭취를 제한하고 있었다. 식습관의 경우, 아토피피부염 아동군이 정상 아동군에 비해 식습관이 불규칙적인 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 아토피피부염의 유발과 연관 있는 식품 중 우유, 돼지고기, 게, 메밀, 닭고기, 고등어, 복숭아, 토마토의 섭취량이 정상 아동군에 비해 아토피피부염 아동군에서 높게 나타났다. 또한, 아토피피부염 아동군이 열량(p<0.001), 총 단백질(p<0.05), 식물성 단백질(p<0.001), 당질(p<0.001), 식이섬유소(p< 0.01), 칼륨(p<0.05), 아연(p<0.001), 비타민 B1(p<0.001), 나이아신(p<0.01), 비타민 C(p<0.05) 및 엽산(p<0.01) 등의 섭취량이 정상 아동군에 비해 유의적으로 적었다. 본 연구결과 아토피피부염 아동은 정상아동에 비해 식습관이 불규칙적이고, 아토피피부염 유발식품의 섭취량은 많았으며, 대부분의 영양소 섭취량이 정상아동에 비해 적었다. 이러한 결과는 식품과 연관성이 높은 소아 아토피피부염에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 보이며, 아토피피부염 아동에 대해 적절한 식품의 선택과 균형 잡힌 식생활 및 식습관 교정의 필요성이 매우 절실한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 아토피피부염을 악화시키는 원인식품의 섭취를 제한하는 것과 더불어 올바른 영양교육 및 지도가 이루어져야할 것으로 생각된다.

In order to examine allergic disease experience rates of students at atopy and asthma friendly elementary schools located in Chungcheongnam-do and investigate their dietary behaviors, a survey on 250 parents of first to third grade students at four rural-type atopy and asthma friendly elementary schools was conducted. The number of students who had experienced allergic symptoms (allergic group) was 102 (40.8%). their breastfeeding duration was shorter than that of the non-allergic group (p<.001) and the former's weaning foods-feeding had started earlier than the latter's (p<.01). Regarding the eating habits, the non-allergic group was found to have breakfast and dinner better than the allergic group (p<.001). The number of students eating fruits as snacks was largest in the allergic group at 73 (71.6%), and as for the non-allergic group, their rate of eating fruits, milk and dairy products, and cookies and fries was at 25.7%, 22.3%, and 20.3%, respectively. A high percentage of the allergic group ate three times or less per month the animal food groups and dairy products (p<.001). Accordingly, for improvement in dietary behaviors of students who have allergy against food, nutrition education on regular eating, balanced intake of food, adequate intake of snacks and meals for proper growth and development and precise diagnosis of allergy-triggering food are necessary. In particular, as education on food allergy, implementation of practical education such as appropriate nutrition counseling by nutrition teachers is urgent beyond the one-way educational method of school newsletters.

This study investigated the demand of nutrition education programs among preschooler's parents. Focus group interview was conducted four times with 29 parents of preschool children. Most subjects appeared to have interest in nutrition education; 'very interested' (58.6%), 'somewhat interested' (20.7%). Sources of nutrition information were 'internet' (35.1%), 'books' (21.6%), 'newspaper or magazines' (13.5%), 'family or relatives' (13.5%), 'media' (8.1%), 'preschool' (5.4%) and 'hospital or public health center' (2.7%) in order. The most frequently mentioned health problems related to dietary behavior were atopy and obesity. Major concerns for children's dietary behavior was picky eating habits, and having questions for how to deal with this problem. Most subjects had trouble with obtaining an adequate amount of dietary supplements for their children. Nutrition education for parents about food labeling and information on processed foods was in demand. Preferred methods of nutrition education for children were playing games with stickers, gardening vegetables, and participating in cooking. Attitudes toward computer-assisted education materials, one of the methods of nutrition education, appeared to be ambivalent. Some preschool parents showed negative attitudes towards exposing their children to electronic devices at an early age, whereas others showed positive attitudes. Subjects were interested in meal-planning and ways to balance nutrients for their child. Parents preferred attending professional lectures to receive reading materials or searching websites as an adult nutrition education method. Results of this study have implications on providing basic information for developing nutrition education programs for preschoolers and their parents. Future research should focus on developing nutrition education programs for both preschools and the home.

대두 단백 제조유는 우유에 대해 알레르기를 일으키는 소아들에게 우유 알레르기를 치료하며 아토피의 예방을 위해 대체식품으로 1929년이래 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 대두 단백 제조유는 알레르기 반응을 유발시킬 수 있어서 이의 효용성에 대해서는 아직도 많은 논란이 지속되고 있다. 우리나라 식품 알레르기 환아에 대한 상황파악은 유럽이나 미국과 비교해 볼 때 아직도 잘 이루어지고 있지 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 국내 소아들의 우유 알레르기와 상관하여 대두 알레르기 발생 빈도 조사에 있다. 본 연구에서 임상적 증상을 나타내는 153명의 환아들 중에서 대두 또는 우유 단백질에 알레르기를 일으키는 환자가 각각 21% 또는 51.6%로 나타났다. 그리고 22명(14%)의 환아들은 우유와 대두 두가지 단백질에 모두 알레르기 증상을 나타내었다. 우유알레르기 환자의 경우는 27.8%의 소수 환아가 대두단백질에 알레르기 반응을 보여 주었으나, 대두 알레르기 환자는 대부분(68.8%)이 우유에 대한 알레르기 반응을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다.

In order to find out the sex- and age-related prevalence rate of allergic diseases in the community. as well as the causes of those diseases. questionnaires were given to 2.415 subjects (1.206 males and 1.209 females) from May to June. 1998. As a second stage. skin tests were given to 452 of the original subjects between July and August. 1998. Finally. from March to November 1999. the results of the tests were compared with those of other countries to make a comparative analysis of epidemiological research on allergic diseases. The results of this study were as follows: The frequency of allergic symptoms by sex was 50.1% in males and 56.7% in females. respectively, which displayed significant difference between males and females(p<.01). By age, the frequency of allergic symptoms in males was highest for those under the age of 9 at 60.6%, whereas in females the highest frequency was between the ages of 30 to 39 at 75.1 %. The relationship between economic level of the subjects and their frequency of allergic diseases showed significant difference (P<.05). There was a high degree of correlation between family history and the frequency of allergic diseases(P<.01). In allergic symptoms, the highest prevalence in both males and females occurred with urticaria, itch and skin rash (33.6% with males and 38.0% with females). Rhinitis, nasal blocking and sneezing had the second highest frequency in both sexes (11.8% of males and 14.0% of females). With regard to the causes of allergic symptoms among the people with allergies, the rate in males was 30.1% in food. 25.0% in pollen, and among females the rate was 30.7% in food, 26.6% in pollen. The frequency of food allergies by sex was 25.6% in males and 25.8% in females, with little difference between males and females, and by age, males of the ages between 40 to 49 and females of the ages between 30 and 39 showed the highest frequency, 31.8% and 32.6% respectively. Among 585 people with food allergies, the sympoms occurring with the allergy in males were 81.5% with urticaria, itch and skin rash. 5.9% with diarrhea and stomachache, and 5.2% with rhinitis, nasal blocking and sneezing. Among females with food allergies, the symptoms were 82.6% with urticaria, itch, skin rash, 9.1% with diarrhea and stomachache, and 4.7% with rhinitis, nasal blocking and sneezing. The type of food most often causing allergy in males was mackerel (6.6%) and females peaches (7.4%). In respect to a positive rate in the skin test by sex, of the 379 males taking the skin test, 21.4% were positive for allergies, whereas 14.7% of the 346 females tested were positive. Among food items found to cause positive allergic reactions, hops had the highest frequency in males (58.9%) and whole eggs had the greatest effect on females (36.4%). The estimated prevalence of food allergies in terms of skin tests was 5.0% of 1.206 males and 3.6% of 1.209 females. In the estimated frequency of food allergy by age group, males of the ages between 40 and 49 and females of the ages from 30 to 39 had the highest rate (6.5% with males and 4.5% with females). In a comparative analysis of epidemiological research on allergic diseases by country group, allergic diseases occurred in 18-50% of each population studied, and the occurrence of allergic diseases when categorized according to symptoms displayed the following as such: allergic rhinitis (3.8-52%), allergic asthma (1.6-17%), and atopy dermatitis (0.33-20.4%). The prevalence of food-related allergies was 6.6-64.9% and the foods causing allergies frequently included milk, eggs, eggs, peanuts, fish, etc.
