This study was conducted to investigate the dietary phytochemical intakes and its relationship with chronic diseases in the Korean elderly. Dietary assessment was performed using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), which included 98 commonly consumed foods with actual size pictures. For estimating phytochemical intakes, we made the phytochemical database using the Korean published data and USDA references. Dietary phytochemicals studied included five carotenoids, five flavonoids, and five isoflavones.(omitted)

Obesity contributes to an increased risk for chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. The prevalence of obesity has increased in Korea. We compared the clinical and dietary characteristics of obese adults (n = 30, 17 men and 13 women, mean age 29.9) to those with a normal weight (n = 15, 8 men and 7 women, mean age 26.5). We determined lipid profiles, fasting blood sugar (FBS), blood pressure, and serum free fatty acid (FFA). Dietary intake was estimated using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and a 3-day dietary record. Exercise patterns and average alcohol intake were determined. The average body mass index was 28.3 kg/$m^2$ in the obese and 21.2 kg/$m^2$ in the normal weight groups. The obese group had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, lower levels of HDL cholesterol, and higher blood pressures compared to the normal weight group. FBS was not significantly different between the two groups. The obese group had significantly more subjects with metabolic syndrome (26.7%) compared to the normal weight group (0%). Serum FFA levels tended to be higher in the obese (P = 0.087). No significant difference in caloric intake was observed between the two groups. No differences in carbohydrate, protein, or fat intake between two groups were observed from the FFQ. However, results from the 3-day dietary record showed that the percentage of energy from fat was significantly higher in the obese group. The frequency and amount of exercise did not differ between the two groups. Alcohol consumed per drinking episode was significantly higher in the obese group. These results confirm that excessive weight is associated with disturbances in lipid metabolism in these fairly young and otherwise healthy adults. Dietary factors, including higher fat intake and alcohol consumption, seem to be contributing to the obesity of these subjects.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study examined the associations between food consumption frequency of Korean adults and self-perceived chewing difficulty, using the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ, 112 items) from 2013-2016 of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). SUBJECTS/METHODS: Subjects were divided into not difficult in chewing (NDC) and difficult in chewing (DC) groups, with 24.17% being classified into DC. Males and females consumed 35 and 37 items less frequently than the other sex, respectively. Due to the remarkable gender difference in food consumption, gender-stratified one-sided survey regression analysis was performed after adjusted for the effect of age, household income, and self-rated health status. RESULTS: Thirty-four items of FFQ were significantly less consumed by the DC group. Females exclusively consumed less beverages and alcohol while males showed the same for fruits and milk·dairy products. Consumption frequency of 8 items such as steamed potatoes·grilled potatoes, stir fried beef, other kimchi·fresh vegetable kimchi, orange, sour pork·pork cutlet, tteokbokki and green tea were significant only in males. In contrast, 17 items including cooked rice with other grains and legumes, boiled egg·steamed egg, Korean cabbage kimchi, banana, and tofu stew·soft tofu stew were significant only for females. Finally, items that showed significance for both were 9 items including loaf bread, ready-to-eat cereal, steamed sweet potatoes·grilled sweet potatoes, stir-fried lotus roots·stir-fried burdock, green laver salad·brown seaweed salads, apples, tomato·cherry tomatoes, squid (raw, dried shredded, boiled, stir-fried), and curd type yogurt. CONCLUSIONS: Findings in this study suggest chewing difficulty may be an important nutritional issue that has to be dealt with for healthful food consumption, with distinct interest of gender.

This study was conducted to investigate dietary macronutrient and $VO_{2}$ by BMI The subjects consisted of 50 female college students. They were divided into three groups: Below BMI 18.5 kg/$m^{2}$ (n = 9), BMI 18.5 - 23 kg/$m^{2}$ (n = 28), above BMI 23 g/$m^{2}$ (n = 13). Health-related questionnaires, dietary macronutrients, macronutrient compositions, food frequency questionnaires, body compositions and $VO_{2}$ were studied. Macronutrient compositions that macronutrient intakes were expressed by the percentage of daily energy intakes. There were significant differences in body fat, percent of body fat, and fat distribution by BMI Also, significantly increasing of basal metabolic rate (BMR) was shown by BMI, but BMR per body weight was decreased by BMI Overall, there were no significant differences in health-related questionnaires, food frequency questionnaires (FFQ), dietary macronutrients and $VO_{2}$ by BMI but salty taste preferences and carbohydrate intakes, FFQ of beans, white vegetables rand, yellow-green vegetables in the above BMI 23 g/$m^{2}$ group were significantly higher than other groups. There were no significant differences in macronutrient composition but the lipid composition of subjects was shown above $20\%$. Also, energy intakes of subjects were shown to be low; especially the below BMI 18.5 kg/$m^{2}$ group was very low ($55\%$ of RDA). Significantly positive correlation was found in BMR and body composition such as skeletal muscle & lean body mass, but significant correlation was not found in BMR and dietary macronutrients. Overall, researched energy metabolism factor was not different by BMI Only in the BMI 18.5 23 kg/$m^{2}$ (normal) group, significantly positive correlation was found in $VO_{2}$peak and body fat oxidation. Therefore, proper nutritional education for female college students is needed in order to improve their obesity-related health. Moreover, a nutritional survey method of finding diverse factors that affect their health should be developed to meet various needs.

Contributions of specific foods to absolute intake and between-person variance in 13 nutrients were examined to develop a short food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for the Korean elderly using dietary data collected by a semiquantitative FFQ with 96 food items. The contributions of specific foods to 90% absolute nutrient intake were measured by assessing their percentage to the total consumption of a nutrient by our samples(n=98). To assess the contribution of the foods to the between-person variance in intake of each specific nutrient, stepwise multiple regression was performed. Cumulative R2 served as the measure of contribution to variation in intake. The most important food source of absolute intake was rice for energy and protein. Important foods of between person variance contribution include bread for energy and pork for protein. Important foods of absolute and variance contribution of nutrient intake were similar for fat(noodles including jajangmyun and kalguksu), calcium(anchovy and milk) and vitamin A (carrot). The number of foods necessary to account for the variation in nutrient intake among older people in Korea differ considerably by nutrient: 18 - 43 and 8-26 foods were accounted for the respective 90 and 80% of absolute intake depending on nutrients. Carbohydrates and vitamin A and C had relatively a few major sources, thus may be assessed well by a small number of foods. Conversely, iron, potassium and B vitamins appear to need longer lists of foods. Fewer numbeer (6 - 12 and 4 - 9) of foods were required for the corresponding percentages of between-person variation for all nutrients. Depending on nutrients, 0.980-0.995 and 0.924-0.987 were respective correlation coefficients of nutrient intakes measured by 96 food items with those by lists of foods for 90% and 80% of absolute intake contribution. These findings suggest that an incomplete food list on the basis of its contribution to absolute and between person variation intakes may still be effective in discriminating among individuals. The results of this study may be useful in the design and use of dietary questionnaire.

Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the nutrient intake of normal healthy adults with those having hypercholesterolemia. Methods: We analyzed data from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI). A total of 12,636 adults (5,223 males and 7,413 females) aged 19 or older were included in the study. Results: Males with hypercholesterolemia were older and had a higher waist circumference, body mass index, fasting blood sugar levels (FBS) and serum triglyceride (TG) concentrations compared to the normal group. Females with hypercholesterolemia were older and had higher FBS levels and serum TG concentrations compared to the normal group. While comparing nutrient intake by the 24-hour recall method, the male normal group showed a higher intake of fat, saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), vitamin A and thiamin compared to the hypercholesterolemic group. However, the male normal group had a lower intake of iron and vitamin C compared to the hypercholesterolemic group. The female normal group had a higher intake of energy, protein, fat, SFA, MUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol, riboflavin, and niacin compared to the hypercholesterolemic group, but had a lower intake of iron compared to the hypercholesterolemic group. A comparison of nutrient intake by food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) showed the following: There was no significant difference in nutrient intake between the normal men and women and those with hypercholesterolemia. After adjustment for confounding factors, nutrient intake by FFQ of the male normal group showed higher levels of n-3 fatty acid and vitamin C compared to the group with hypercholesterolemia. However, there was no significant difference in nutrient intake between the two groups of women. Conclusions: The average intake of n-3 fatty acids and vitamin C of the male group with hypercholesterolemia was lower than that of the normal group. However, since KNHANES is a cross-sectional study, prospective cohort studies are required to analyze the risk factors of hypercholesterolemia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships of serum folate (vitamin B9), cobalamin (vitamin B12) levels and diet with semen parameters (semen standard parameters [SSP] and DNA fragmentation index [DFI]) in infertile men. Methods: Sperm samples were assessed for SSP and DFI (using the sperm chromatin dispersion test). Serum vitamin concentrations were measured with an immuno-electrochemiluminescence assay, and men completed a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Results: Serum folate levels were positively correlated with sperm progressive motility and DFI. A comparison of SSP between two groups of patients according to serum folate concentration (B9 <4.840 ng/mL and B9 ≥4.840 ng/mL) showed significantly higher sperm concentration and sperm progressive motility in the latter group. However, there was no difference between these groups regarding DFI. Interestingly, serum folate levels were significantly higher in patients with a high DFI (using the cut-offs of 30% or 18%). FFQ data showed that the consumption of fruits and egg yolk correlated positively with sperm concentration and sperm motility, respectively. Conclusion: Serum folate levels showed significant associations with sperm concentration and sperm progressive motility. However, the positive association of serum folate with DFI raises the need for careful prescription of folate supplements.

본 연구는 충북 도내에 거주하는 남녀 중학생 282명을 대상으로 24시간회상법을 이용하여 식이섬유 섭취 수준을 조사하고 식이섬유 주요급원식품을 알아보았다. 또한 식품섭취빈도조사를 이용하여 조사방법 간의 식이섬유 섭취수준을 비교, 분석하고 식이섬유섭취수준의 타당도를 검증하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 성별에 따른 열량 및 영양소 섭취량은 에너지필요추정량과 비교할 때 남학생은 75.4%, 여학생은 93.8%였다. 단백질은 평균필요량의 남녀 각각 85.8% 및 102.6%의 섭취수준을 보이며 남학생의 경우 다소 부족한 결과를 나타내었다. 한국인 영양섭취기준의 평균필요량이 남녀학생 모두 낮은 섭취량을 보인 영양소는 칼슘, 철분 및 엽산 순이다. 전반적으로 남녀학생 모두 영양소의 섭취수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 24시간회상법에 의한 남학생의 1일 평균 식이섬유 섭취량은 $17.6\pm5.3$ g(54.8%), 여학생은 $16.5\pm4.8$ g(68.8%)으로 나타났으며 남녀학생 모두 충분섭취량에 매우 부족한 상태로 남녀학생의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 식이섬유의 주요 급원식품 중 두 방법 간의 공통적인 섭취순위를 보인 식품은 1위 백미, 2위 배추김치이며 채소류와 곡류로부터 총 식이섬유의 68.44%의 섭취를 보였고 주요급원식품군별로 분류하면 채소류, 곡류와 그 제품, 과일류, 두류, 해조류 순이었다. 24시간회상법과 식품섭취빈도조사법 간의 Pearson 상관계수는 0.71로 높게 나타났으며, 유의적인 상관성(p<0.05)을 보였다. 백미가 0.82로 가장 높은 상관성을 보였고, 19종의 식품품목이 상관관계에서 유의성을 보였다. 식이섬유 섭취량의 Pearson 상관계수가 낮고 유의성이 없는 식품을 제외한 후 섭취량을 보정한 결과 상관성이 0.78로 높게 나타났고 유의적인 상관성(p<0.01)을 보였다. 두 방법에 의해 산출된 섭취수준에 따라 각각 4등급으로 분류하였을 때 보정 후 낮은 등급이 일치할 확률이 90.2%에서 92.4%로 높아졌고 평균 식이섬유의 Kappa값은 0.54에서 0.59로 높아졌다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 식품섭취빈도 조사지는 비교적 높은 타당성을 보였으므로 조사지의 수정보완을 통해 청소년의 식이섬유섭취상태 파악에 유용하리라 생각된다. 또한 섭취량 보정을 통해 선정된 식품품목 19종을 기초로 하여 학생들의 학교급식메뉴와 기호도를 조사하고 급식과 연계하여 식품품목을 증가시키기 위한 과정이 선행되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 식품섭취조사지의 개발과 적극적인 활용방안을 위해서는 지속적인 연구가 필요하리라 사료된다.

식품섭취빈도조사지는 식품 목록 종류의 구성방식에 띠라 식품을 기초로 한 조사지와 음식을 기초로 한 두가지 형태로 나누는데, 식품을 기초로 한 조사지는 유지류와 양념류의 영양소를 반영하지 못한다는 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 이 연구는 유지류와 양념류가 대상자 영양소 섭취량과 섭취 분포에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자, 한 농촌지역에서 식생활 요인 평가를 위해 개발하여 사용되고 있는 음식을 기초로 한 식품 빈도조사지를 이용하여, 1) 전체 영양소 섭취량, 2) 유지류를 제외한 영양소 섭취량, 3) 유지류와 양념류를 제외한 영양소 섭취량, 위의 3가지 형태의 영양소 섭취량을 산출하여 영양소 섭취량의 비교와 상관성, 영양소 섭취 분포 일치도를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 총 영양소 섭취량과 유지류를 제외한 영양소 섭취량을 비교하였을 때, 유지류를 제외한 경우, 열량, 식물성지방, 비타민 E 섭취량이 유의하게 낮아졌고, 단순 카파지수는 각각 0.95 (${\kappa}{\omega}$ = 0.98), 0.64 (${\kappa}{\omega}$ = 0.81), 0.59 (${\kappa}{\omega}$ = 0.79) 였다. 유지류와 양념류를 모두 제외한 영양소 섭취량과 총 영양소 섭취량과 비교하면, 유지류와 양념류를 모두 제외하였을 때, 유지류와 양념류에 포함되어 있지 않은 영양소인 동물성 단백질, 동물성 지방, 레티놀을 제외한 대부분의 영양소의 섭취량이 유의하게 낮았고, 그 중 식물성 지방 (K = 0.64, ${\kappa}{\omega}$ = 0.81), 비타민 E (K = 0.59, ${\kappa}{\omega}$ = 0.79), 나트륨 (K = 0.61, ${\kappa}{\omega}$ = 0.80)의 단순 카파지수는 0.8 이하로 다른 영양소에 비해 상대적으로 낮았다. 영양소 섭취 분포 일치도는 열량 보정 후에 조정 전보다 더 낮아졌다. 이상의 연구 결과, 유지류와 양념류를 포함하지 않은 경우 식물성 지방, 비타민 E, 나트륨의 섭취량을 저 평가하였고, 대상자의 영양소 섭취 수준의 분포에 영향을 미쳤다. 따라서, 유지류나 양념류의 조사가 없는 식품기반 식품섭취빈도 조사를 이용하여 질병과의 연관성을 분석할 경우 결과에 대한 해석에 주의해야 한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between bone density and dietary intake for college women in their twenties. This study was performed on 160 female college students residing in Gangwon-do. It was conducted using ultrasound measurement of calcaneus bone density, anthropometric checkup and food-frequency questionnaires (FFQ) comprising 94 kinds of commonly consumed foods. Subjects were divided into two groups according to the T-score of bone density: a normal group (n = 113 persons, T-score ${\geq}1$) and a risk group (n = 47, T-score < 1.0). The average age of the subjects was 20.17 years and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Body weight and body fat percentage of the normal group were significantly higher than those of the risk group. The mean daily energy intake of the normal group was significantly higher than that of the risk group. Also, protein, fat, vitamin A, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, iron and zinc intake for the normal group were significantly higher than for the risk group. For the intake of the commonly consumed foods (or dishes) listed in FFQ, the mean daily intake amount of loaf bread, rice cake, potatoes, spicy beef soup, cucumber, seasoned spinach perilla leaves, crown daisy, stir-fried mushroom, sea mustard, beef rib, ham, chicken, mackerel, common squid, drink type curd yogurt, oriental melon and chocolate in the normal group was significantly higher than in the risk group. While, the mean daily intake of ramyun (instant noodle) and carbonated beverage by the normal group was significantly lower than that of the risk group. In conclusion, 20 something female college students showed a higher rate (26.9%) of the bone mineral density risk group (osteopenia or osteoporosis). For the risk group, the levels of nutrient and food intake were lower than in the normal group. Therefore, the bone density risk group needs to increase their nutrient intake and diet quality by increasing the intake of various foods. In addition, they should decrease the intake of foods, which are negative for skeletal health such as instant noodles and carbonated beverages.
