目的：研究韩国城市低收入家庭的食物不安全状况及其与儿童膳食摄入量和体型的关系。设计：横断面研究。背景：大城市低收入社区。研究对象：370名4-12岁的儿童，他们有所有的食物摄入量和人体测量学记录以及家庭食物不安全措施。结果：使用10个项目的Radimer/Cornell量表，62.7%的家庭存在不同程度的食物不安全(8.6%的家庭食物不安全，8.6%的家庭食物不安全，成年人的粮食不安全占28.4%，饥饿儿童家庭占25.7%)。粮食不安全与家庭经济状况以及照顾者对营养知识的使用呈线性负相关。粮食不安全与儿童的饮食摄入量也有很大关联，这表明儿童从家庭中摄取的营养素最多，其次是粮食安全组、成人食物不安全组和儿童饥饿组。家庭食物不安全的儿童比食物安全的儿童肥胖。既往儿童的肥胖状况似乎与更频繁地摄入低质量食物有关。结论：本研究报告了家庭食物不安全状况与儿童食物摄入量和肥胖之间的曲线关系。
Objective: This study examined household food insecurity of urban low-income families in Korea and the associations of the food insecurity with children's dietary intake and body size.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: Low-income neighborhoods in large cities.Subjects: Included 370 children aged 4-12 y, who had all records on dietary intake and anthropometry as well as household food insecurity measures.Results: Using the 10-item Radimer/Cornell Scale, 62.7% of the households showed some degree of food insecurity (8.6% for food insecure for family, 28.4% for food insecure for adults and 25.7% for child hunger households). Food insecurity was linearly and negatively associated with household economic conditions as well as the caretaker's use of nutrition knowledge. There were also significant associations of food insecurity with the children's dietary intakes, indicating the largest amount of nutrients for the children from the household food insecure, followed by those from the food secure, adult food insecure and child hunger groups. The household food insecure children were fatter than the food secure children. The fatter condition of the former children appeared to be related to more frequent intakes of low-quality foods.Conclusion: This study reports curvilinear associations between the status of household food insecurity and children's food intakes and fatness.Sponsorship: This work was funded by a grant of the 2001 Korea Health Promotion Research Program, the Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea.
