The dietary vitamin B6 intake of 218 Korean young women (aged 20-26y), who had no health problems, and their sources were estimated using a modified Korean vitamin B6 database. The average daily vitamin B6 intake was 0.987 mg for the subjects. About 87.2% of the subjects consumed less than the Korean Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin B6. The average ratio of vitamin B6 intake to daily protein intake was 0.014 mg/g protein, and approximately 91% of subjects consumed 〈 0.02 mg/g protein. Vitamin B6 intake was significantly (p〈.01 -p〈.001) positively correlated to the intakes of all other nutrients. Between animal and vegetable protein, animal protein had a stronger positive correlation with vitamin B6 Major dietary sources of vitamin B6 the top 10 foods provided nearly 64% of total vitamin B6, and dietary contributors of vitamin B6 for Koreans are less varied than those for Americans.
