Objectives This study was done to identify dietary patterns and determine relationships between obesity. and dietary patterns in Korean women. %26lt;br%26gt;Subjects/methods Using 3,742 cases of baseline data from the Korean Health and Genome Study, dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis of data from a validated food frequency questionnaire. Relationships between dietary patterns and obesity were analyzed. %26lt;br%26gt;Results Four dietary patterns were identified: (a) %26quot;animal food%26quot; (greater intake of meats and fish), (b) %26quot;rice-vegetable%26quot; (greater intake of steamed rice, tofu, Kimchi, vegetables, dried anchovy, and seaweed%26apos;s), (c) %26quot;bread-dairy%26quot; (greater intake of bread, eggs, milk, and dairy products), and (d) %26quot;noodle%26quot; (greater intake of ramyun, noodles, and Chajang-myeon). The %26quot;animal food,%26quot; %26quot;bread-dairy,%26quot; and %26quot;noodle%26quot; dietary patterns were preferred by younger people with higher education levels (P%26lt;0.01), but the %26quot;rice-vegetable%26quot; dietary pattern was preferred by older people with lower incomes and education levels (P%26lt;0.01). In Korean women, dietary patterns were related to abdominal obesity but not obesity. The %26quot;rice-vegetable%26quot; and %26quot;noodle%26quot; dietary patterns were associated with an increased risk of abdominal obesity. However, the %26quot;bread-dairy%26quot; dietary pattern had an inverse relationship with abdominal obesity. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusion In this study we identified four unique dietary patterns in Korean women that were independently associated with abdominal obesity. Abdominal obesity was positively related to the %26quot;rice-vegetable%26quot; and %26quot;noodle%26quot; dietary patterns. These finding may be useful in the development of dietary guidelines and the prevention of abdominal obesity in Korean women. J Acad Nutr Diet. 2012;112:1550-1559.
