Three-day dietary records data from 237 college students(male 65, female 172) were used as the basis to estimate total dietary fiber(DF) intake of Korean adults & to investigate the major food sources of fiber. Mean daily DF intake of the subjects was 15.2土 3.7g，range being 7.5? 34g. When related to energy intake, women consume more DF(7.7± 1.5/1000kcal) than mcn(6.8± 1.7g/1000kcal). Mean daily crude fibcr(CF) intake of the subjects was 6.2± 2.4g. The mean DF : CF ratio for the subjects was Z5士 0,5, indicating that DF intake is 2? 3 times of CF intakes. The intakes of the two measures pf fiber were highly correlated(r=0.791). The major food sources for DF in Korean are vegetables, cereals and fruits and the percentage contributions of the food groups to the DF intake are 30.7%, 29.3% and 143% respectively. In comparision with limited international data on the DF intake by adults, DF intake by the subjects was similar to those of developed countries. Present study indicates that DF intakes of the subjects arc considerably lower than recommended level and they need to consume more DF than the present level.
