Weight and height measurements, dietary intake records and overnight urine samples for two days were collected from 38 children in Seoul and 36 children in rural area of Korea. Median percentages of height-for-age, weight-for-age and weight-for-height of the children in Seoul were significantly higher than those of the rural children. A mild degree of stunting was prevalent in the rural area, while overweight was more dominant among the children in Seoul. Dietary intake of energy, protein and fat as well as urinary excretions of N and creatine were also higher in the Seoul children. Animal protein intake correlated most significantly with height-for-age. Fat intake was a more important factor for weight-for-age and weight-for-height. Urinary excretion of N or creatinine, together with dietary factors, was a significant independent variable in regression models for the growth indices of the children. The results show the heterogeneity of nutritional problems among different subgroups of the Korean population at the present time.
从韩国首尔的38名儿童和农村地区的36名儿童中收集了体重和身高测量数据、饮食摄入记录以及连续两天的夜间尿液样本。首尔儿童的年龄别身高、年龄别体重和身高别体重的中位数百分比显著高于农村儿童。农村地区普遍存在轻度发育迟缓，而超重现象在首尔儿童中更为突出。首尔儿童的能量、蛋白质和脂肪的饮食摄入量以及氮和肌酐的尿排泄量也更高。动物蛋白摄入量与年龄别身高的相关性最为显著。脂肪摄入量是影响年龄别体重和身高别体重的更重要因素。氮或肌酐的尿排泄量以及饮食因素是儿童生长指数回归模型中的显著独立变量。结果表明，目前韩国不同亚人群体之间营养问题存在异质性。
