Zusammenfassung:Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the food behavior and nutritional status of elementary school students in the Jeju area using Nutrition Quotient (NQ). Methods: The subjects were 440 students (235 boys and 205 girls) in the fifth and sixth grade at four elementary schools located in Jeju. Demographic, lifestyle, and environmental information was collected using a self-reported questionnaire. The food behavior checklist for children's Nutrition Quotient (NQ), consisting of 19 items, and nutrition education related information were also obtained. Results: The mean score of the children's NQ was poor, reaching 60.3 points. The percentage distribution of NQ grade was 19.8% (lowest), 18.6% (low), 45.0% (medium), 10.7% (high), and 5.9% (highest) and the factor scores for balance, diversity, abstinence, regularity, and practice were 56.6, 68.4, 71.3, 57.4, and 54.8 points, respectively. Compared with the NQ cut-off points for defining malnutrition (balance; 57, diversity; 87, abstinence; 66, regularity; 69, and practice; 67 point), average score of abstinence factor was only above the cut-off point and scores of the other factors were below the cut-off point. Subjects with higher NQ scores tended to have higher levels of exercise activity (p < 0.001), frequency of family meals (p < 0.01), and father's educational levels (p < 0.01) compared to those with lower NQ score. NQ score showed positive association with nutrition education experience and practice (p < 0.001). Conclusion: NQ score of elementary school students residing in Jeju was lower than the national average. More opportunities should be provided for participation in nutrition education, which incorporates a range of program strategies, as well as communication and education activities. 본 연구는 '어린이 영양지수 (NQ)'를 활용하여 제주지역 일부 초등학교 5~6학년 440명을 대상으로 전반적인 식습관과 영양 상태를 진단, 평가하였고 전국 6대 광역시 거주 아동들의 결과와 비교하여 고찰하였다. 또한 NQ에 영향을 미치는 일반특성 요인과 영양교육 관련 요인에 대해 규명하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면, 첫째, 제주 지역 아동의 평균 NQ 점수는 100점 만점에 60.3점이고, 영역별로는 균형 56.6점, 다양 68.4점, 절제 71.3점, 규칙 57.4점, 실천 54.8점으로 절제를 제외한 모든 영역에서 영양불량을 진단하는 기준치에 해당하였다. 둘째, NQ점수를 바탕으로 5개의 등급으로 구분한 결과, '불량' 19.8%, '약간 불량' 18.6%, '보통' 45.0%, '우수' 10.7%, '최우수' 5.9%의 분포를 보였다. 셋째, NQ에 영향을 미치는 인구통계학 및 생활습관 특성을 분석한 결과, 운동을 더 많이 하는 아동일수록, 가족과 함께 자주 식사할수록, 아버지의 교육수준이 높을수록 NQ 점수가 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 그러나 가족 구성원의 수와 어머니의 직장여부에 따른 NQ 평균점수는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 넷째, 평소 영양교육에 관심이 많다고 응답하였거나, 영양교육 받은 내용을 실천한다고 응답하는 대상자들이 NQ 등급이 높은 경향을 보였다. 마지막으로, 제주지역 아동들의 평균은 전국 6개 광역시, 경북지역, 대구지역 아동
