BACKGROUND:Fat is an important nutrient that functions as an energy source and regulates metabolites; however, it is a potential risk factor for noncommunicable diseases. The purpose of this work was to assess the dietary fat intake and examine the groups at risk for fat intake in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).
METHODOLOGY:Using KNHANES (1998, 2001, 2005, 2007-2015) microdata, the Koreans’ intake of dietary fat was estimated. The changes in mean fat intake and proportion of fat-energy intake were analyzed, and those according to sex and age were produced in KNHANES IV-3 (2015). The prevalence of subjects with fat intake under the acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR) and over the AMDR were estimated through the Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans.
RESULTS:The mean dietary fat intake in 2015 was 58.9 g for men and 43.0 g for women; the mean fat intake and proportion of fat-energy intake increased consistently. As the fat intake of the elderly (aged 65 or over) was lower than those of the other age groups, the prevalence of subjects with fat intake under AMDR was the highest in all age groups. The proportion of fat-energy intake was the highest in the age group of 19～29 years old, while the prevalence of fat intake over AMDR was higher than those of the other age groups.
CONCLUSION:Because the dietary fat intake was higher in young age groups, the fat intake could increase in the next several years. The continuous monitoring of dietary fat intake should be requested for the management of noncommunicable diseases.
