Background: Cardiovascular diseases and their prevention have attracted much attention in Korea, which is becoming an aging society. It is generally believed that consuming more vegetables can reduce cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between vegetable intake patterns and risk factors for cardiovascular disease, specifically blood pressure and blood lipids.
Methods: Data were obtained from the results of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013). Factors that could result in bias were excluded, and 1,554 subjects were selected for the study. A multiple regression analysis of blood pressure and blood lipid levels was performed by comparing the average daily intake of 9 vegetables. The analysis unit was stratified by male and female sex and by age groups 19-39 and 40-64 years.
Results: In male, bean sprouts, radish and garlic had positive effects on some of the cardiovascular risk factors. In female, radish and broccoli had positive effects and bean sprouts had a negative effect. At age 19-39, spinach, radish and broccoli had positive effects and garlic had negative effects. At age 40-64, pumpkin and broccoli showed positive effects (P〈0.05).
Conclusion: In Korean adults, risk factors for cardiovascular disease were influenced by increasing intake of some vegetables; it was found that different vegetables had positive or negative effects according to sex and age group.
