Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze high-sugar food consumption habits frequency among elementary school students, and their correlations with eating habits and sweet taste assessment. Methods: The participants of the study were 164 elementary school students in Daegu, in the fifth or sixth grade, along with their parents. A questionnaire investigated eating habits, high-sugar food consumption habits and frequency, and sweet taste assessment. Results: The average eating habits score for elementary school students was determined to be 71.7 out of 100. Students with higher eating habits scores had lower high-sugar food consumption habits and frequency compared to those with lower eating habits scores. Sweet taste assessment revealed that students who preferred less sweetness chose a 5% sugar concentration, those with a preference for normal sweetness chose a 10% sugar concentration, and those who preferred sweeter tastes chose a 20% sugar concentration. Sweet taste assessment showed that students who tended to prefer less sweetness had the highest eating habits scores and the lowest scores for high-sugar food consumption habits and frequency. In addition, eating habits scores were found to be negatively correlated with high-sugar food consumption habits, high-sugar food consumption frequency, and sweet taste assessment. The sweet taste assessment was positively correlated with high-sugar food consumption habits and frequency. Conclusions: Our results indicate that students with good eating habits had more desirable overall sugar intake habits, and when the preference for sweetness was high, the frequency of high-sugar food consumption was also high. Our study highlights the importance of educating elementary school students and their parents about the harmful effects of excessive sugar consumption, as well as the benefits of adopting healthy eating habits and creating supportive environments.

본 연구는 유아의 바람직한 기본생활습관 형성을 위한 부모교육 프로그램의 기초 자료를 제공하기 위해 어린이집에 다니는 3, 4세 유아를 둔 어머니와 아버지의 애정적, 자율적 양육태도와 기본생활습관의 중요성에 대한 인식에 따라 남아와 여아의 기본생활습관에 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 이를 위해 서울과 경기도에 위치한 어린이집 7곳의 3, 4세 유아 160명의 아버지와 어머니를 대상으로 이화여대 부속유치원(1995)의 기본생활습관 질문지와 Schaefer에 기초한 박두미(2004)의 부모양육태도 질문지를 사용하여 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 유아의 기본생활습관 형성에 영향을 미치는 부모의 특성은 유아의 성에 따라 차이가 났다. 여아의 경우에는 아버지와 어머니가 자녀의 기본생활습관을 중요하다고 생각하는 인식이 기본생활습관 형성에 중요한 영향을 끼치는 반면, 남아의 경우에는 기본생활습관에 대한 부모의 인식도 중요했지만 이는 부모의 애정적인 양육태도에 따라 차이가 나서, 부모가 기본생활습관을 중요하게 생각하지 않는 집단이라도 특히 어머니가 애정적인 양육태도를 사용한 경우에는 바람직한 기본 생활습관을 형성하였다. 그리고 부모의 자율적인 양육태도와 관련해서는 유의한 상호작용 효과가 나타나지 않았다.

Methods: Out of the random selection of the registered dental offices of Dental Technicians Association of Korea, 2,000 working dental technicians were asked to fill out the questionnaire from January 19 to April 30, 2009. We collected the 1,502 sheets of the questionnaire and took frequency analysis, crosstabulation, t-test, and analysis of variance using SPSS Win 12.0 program. Results: Among the seven health related habits, 54.9% of the subject answered 'never do exercise' in the question of exercise habits, which is the most problematic of all. Hours of sleep and BMI were found to be quite low. Of the general characteristics, sex proved statistically significant to all the seven habits(p<.001). Marital status, job title, and health check-up showed statistical significance in six items among the seven habits. Age, monthly income, job position showed statistical meanings in five items among the seven habits. The frequency of break showed statistical significance in four items among the seven habits. Working environment showed statistical significance only in the item of hours of sleep among the seven habits(p<.05). Conclusion: This study proved that it is vital to educate the dental technicians to learn the right habits for enhancing their health and quality of life and motivate them to practice those habits.
