Purpose: This study is to conduct a study on the dietary assessment according to gender for children aged 3 to 5 years.
Methods: In order to do this, the raw data for analysis was extracted from the 2013-2018 Korea National and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).
Results: An analysis of diet-related factors according to the gender of chidren revealed that the highest breakfast frequency was 5 to 7 times per week for both boys and girls. The frequency of eating out was over 5 times a week in over 93% of both boys and girls. The intake of whole foods, grains, sugars, legumes, meat, eggs, dairy products, oils, and beverages was significantly higher in boys than in girls. An analysis of the nutrition intake showed that there was an adequate consumption of energy and macronutrients such as carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Calcium intake was observed to be 470.2 mg for boys aged 3-5 years and 426.2 mg for girls. Potassium intake was 1,787.9 mg for boys and 1,637.1 mg for girls. Overall, it was found that boys consumed more food and nutrients than girls and that the energy and macronutrient intake was adequate. However, among micronutrients, the potassium and calcium (only for girls) intake showed a lower level compared to the 2020 Korean Dietary Reference Intakes (KDRI).
Conclusion: It is thought that a sustainable provision for a balanced diet is necessary for young children. Through this, it is hoped that this study will be helpful for growing children to lead healthy and sustainable lives.
