碩士 === 台北醫學大學 === 藥學研究所 === 83 === The study was to investigate the dietary characteristic of urban and rural primary school students, to realize the relationship among dietary intake, body weight and serum lipids, and further to discuss the prevalence of obesity in primary school students as a reference for nutrition study in the future. Sampling of fifth-grade primary school students in Kaohsiung city and Yunlin county was conducted in February, 1994 and in September, 1994 respectively. This approach was proceeded by using 24-hour dietary recall for collecting students' dietary data, measuring students' height, weight, triceps skinfold thickness, body mass index, and examining fasting serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-choresterol, HDL-cholesterol concentration. The result shows, with respect to dietary intake: the total calorie intake for boys in Kaohsiung are 1931 kcal, as for girls are 1560 kcal respectively; in Yunlin for boys are 1785 kcal, and for girls are 1577 kcal respectively. The total calories intake for boys in Kaohsiung are higher than that for boys in Yunlin, (p<0.05) and for girls there is no difference between two places. The tendency for students' dietary fat intake was high. n Kaohsiung, the students' fat intake was higher than 35% of total calories ; in Yunlin, that was higher than 30 % of total calories. The percentage of fat intake for students in Kaohsiung are higher than that for students in Yunlin. (p<0.05) The percentage of carbohydrate is quite the reverse. As to anthropometry, the students in Kaohsiung are taller and heavier than those in Yunlin. As for serum lipids, total cholesterol on average for boys in Kaohsiung is 177.4 mg/dl, for girls in Kaohsiung is 170.5 mg/dL, and for boys in Yunlin is 157.1 mg/dL, for girls in Yunlin is 156.7mg/dL. As to LDL-cholesterol, that for boys in Kaohsiung is 117.3 mg/dL, for girls is 112.8 mg/dL; and for boys in Yunlin is 88.9 mg/dL, for girls is 89.1 mg/dL. As to HDL-cholesterol, that for boys in Kaohsiung is 46.2 mg/dL, for girls is 44.8 mg/dL; and for boys in Yunlin is 54.8 mg/dL, for girls is 53.1 mg/dL. The students in Kaohsiung are higher than those in Yunlin in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, (p<0.05) and the students in Yunlin are higher than those in Kaohsiung in HDL-cholesterol. (p<0.05) With four different standards to explore the prevalence of obesity in two places, whatever kind of standard may be adopted, the result indicates that obesity prevalence of the student in Kaohsiung is higher than that of the students in Yunlin. In comparision with the surveys in the past years, we know that the tendency of obesity prevalence of the students in the urban areas is increasing; less serious are the students in rural areas, and that the hyperlipidemia of urban student are more than that of rural students. This shows the nutrition imbalance for students should soon be improved.
