Abstract
|
|
|
The objective of this study was to examine the Korean Healthy Eating Index (KHEI) for adults based on the Korea National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) and to assess the diet quality of Korean adults. The KHEI was composed of 8 adequacy components, 3 moderation components, and 3 balance components. The maximum KHEI score was 100 points and the minimum score was 0. Among Korean adults in the KNHANES VI (2013-2015), the total KHEI score was 63.3. The total KHEI score among men was lower than that among women and was lowest in the 20s and 30s. The scores of ‘percentage of energy from sweets and beverages’, ‘percentage of energy from saturated fat’, and ‘total vegetable intake’ were higher than those of other components. On the other hand, the scores of ‘mixed grain intake’, ‘total fruit intake’, and ‘milk and milk products intake’ were lower than those of the other components, suggesting that the deficient indexes should be improved.
