농촌 지역의 중년이후 성인의 염분 민감도에 따른 짠 음식 섭취 관련 식행동

This study was conducted to identify behavioral characteristics of salty food intake according to saline sensitivity of adults living in a rural area. Anthropometry and blood pressure were measured and salt intake-related dietary behavior was surveyed by questionnaires through interviews with 402 subjects aged ${\geq}$ 40 years in Chungcheongbuk-Do, Korea. The percentages of overweight and obese among the subjects were 37.8% and 3.8% respectively. Mean blood pressure of the subjects was in the normal range, but the distribution of subjects who were normotensive, high normal, and hypertensive was 48.7%, 17.7%, and 33.6% respectively. Approximately 27% of all subjects habitually consumed salty food, which was the smallest group, followed by 38.1% normal and 35.1% not-salty food. However, 34.6% of the eldest group of ${\geq}$ 65 years consumed salty food. The saline insensitive group showed a higher percentage of irregular meals, overeating, speed-eating, an unbalanced diet, a preference for fried food, and habitual intake of salty foods. These subjects recognized the risk for eating salty food, but they lacked the will to reduce their salty food intake. Compared to spouses and family members, experts such as doctors, nurses, and dieticians were the most influential for reducing the salty food intake of subjects. Saline sensitive group had relatively better control over salty food intake at every meal, eating out, and even when eating salty food that the spouse preferred. The saline sensitive group ate more frequently vegetables and fruits, whereas the saline insensitive group ate more frequently hot spicy foods. In conclusion, the results suggest that it is necessary to establish a social atmosphere toward reducing salt intake at the level of the government and food industry and to set action plans to be available for nutrition education programs to reduce salt intake nationwide. 본 연구에서는 고혈압 유병율이 높고 소금이 다량 함유된 김치, 장아찌, 장류 위주의 식생활을 하는 농촌 성인의 고혈압 및 만성 퇴행성 질병의 유병율을 낮추는데 도움을 주는 기초자료를 마련하고자, 농촌의 중년기 이후 성인의 식습관 및 건강습관과 식염섭취 행동을 조사하고 이에 영향을 미치는 식행동 요인들을 조사하였다. 조사 대상은 충북 옥천군의 옥천읍과 8개면 성인 주민을 대상으로 비례추출에 의해 402가구를 선정하고 가구당 1인씩 총 402인을 유의 추출하였다. 1% 소금물에 대한 짠맛 민감도를 조사하여 민감군, 보통군, 둔감군의 세 군으로 분류하고 각 군의 식행동과 주변인의 영향과 지원을 분석하였다. 1) 본 연구 대상자는 남자 133명 (33.1%), 여자 269명 (66.9%), 총 402명으로 평균 연령은 $58.9{\pm}9.4$세로 남녀 모두 61~70세 (40.0%)가 가장 많았다. 2) 조사대상자의 평균 체질량 지수 (kg/$m^2$)는 남자 $23.6{\pm}3.5$, 여자 $24.6{\pm}3.3$로 여자가 남자에 비해 과체중의 경향이 컸다. 허리-엉덩이 둘레비 (WHR)도 남자 $0.90{\pm}0.12$, 여자 $0.9
