다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: College students are in transition from adolescence to adulthood, and it has been reported that they show poor dietary habits. This study was conducted to compare body image perception, nutrition knowledge, dietary attitudes, dietary habits, and health-related lifestyles between Korean college students (KCS) and Mongolian college students (MCS).
SUBJECTS/METHODS: Subjects were 314 KCS and 280 MCS. The data includes results of self-administered questionnaires; statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 23.0 program.
RESULTS: With regards to body image perception, KCS perceived themselves to be fatter on current body image than ideal body image compared to MCS; 64.0% of KCS and 34.6% of MCS desired to be thinner. Total score of nutrition knowledge in KCS (17.0) was significantly higher compared to MCS (8.4) (P ＜ 0.001), but total score of dietary attitudes in KCS (27.0) was significantly lower compared to MCS (31.2) (P ＜ 0.001). Nutrition knowledge had a significantly positive correlation with dietary attitudes in MCS (P ＜ 0.01). Meal consumption among male and female subjects was 2 and 3 times, respectively, in order in KCS, and 3 and 2 times, respectively, in order in MCS (P ＜ 0.001). Rate of skipping breakfast in both genders was significantly higher in KCS than in MCS (male: P ＜ 0.05, female: P ＜ 0.001). In health-related lifestyles, KCS had a significantly higher rate in frequency of alcohol drinking (P ＜ 0.001), exercise (P ＜ 0.01), and mobile phone usage (P ＜ 0.001), compared to MCS.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that development of nutrition education program which is effective and proper is required to improve healthy dietary habits among college students of both countries. Essential contents should include acquirement of nutrition knowledge and a motivation for its application to actual life for KCS, and improvement of healthy dietary habits for MCS.
