본 연구는 중산층 성인 남녀의 영양상태를 저소득층 및 고소득층과 비교하기 위하여 실시되었으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 대부분의 영양소 섭취량은 소득 수준에 따라 유의적인 차이가 있었으며, 특히, 에너지, 단백질, 지방, 칼슘, 인, 칼륨, 티아민, 나이아신, 비타민 C섭취 수준은 남녀 모두에서 소득 수준이 높을수록 섭취 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 철분과 리보플라빈 섭취량은 성별에 따라 다른 양상을 보였는데, 중산층 남성의 경우 철분과 리보플라빈 섭취 수준이 저소득층 보다 높고 고소득층과 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않은 반면, 중산층 여성의 철분 섭취량은 고소득층 보다 낮고 저소득층과 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3. 1,000 kcal 당 영양소 섭취 수준을 비교한 결과, 중산층 남성의 경우 탄수화물, 단백질, 지방의 섭취량은 고소득층과 유사하게 나타난 반면, 중산층 여성의 경우 이들 영양소 섭취량이 저소득층 보다 높고 고소득층 보다 유의적인으로 낮았다. 이상의 결과는 저소득층 뿐만 아니라 중산층, 특히 중산층 여성에 대한 영양문제에 관심을 가질 필요가 있다는 것을 보여준 것으로, 향후 소득 계층별 영양정책 수립에 있어, 성별에 대한 차이를 고려한 맞춤 복지에 대한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구의 목적은 중년(45~64세) 남녀를 대상으로 주관적 사회계층과 자살생각의 관계에서 자아존중감과 사회적 지지의 이중 매개효과를 파악하는 것이다. 대상자의 주관적 사회계층이 자살생각에 영향에 사회적 지지와 자아존중감의 매개효과를 확인하기 위해 병렬 이중 매개모형으로 분석하였다. 성별, 연령, 동거인 여부와 우울을 보정한 상태에서 독립변수인 주관적 사회계층은 매개변수인 사회적 지지(β =0.23, p<.001)와 자아존중감(β =0.12, p <.001)에 사회적 지지는 자아존중감에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다(β =0.21, p<.001). 종속변수인 자살생각에 주관적 사회계층(β =-0.25, p<.001), 사회적 지지(β =-0.32, p<.001)와 자아존중감(β =-0.19, p=.001)이 모두 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 주관적 사회계층이 자아존중감을 매개로 하여 자살생각에 미치는 간접효과와 주관적 계층이 사회적 지지 그리고 자아존중감을 거쳐 자살생각에 이르는 다중 간접효과 모두 유의하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따라 중년성인을 대상으로 생활터 기반의 사회적 지지체계 구축이 필요하다. 이는 중년성인의 자아존중감 향상에 기여하여, 자살예방에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것이다.
