Identifying dietary patterns related to metabolic syndrome using the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with an increased risk of CVD, type 2 diabetes and death from all causes. Dietary factors correlate with MetS, making diet a potential target for intervention. We used data from the 2012–2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES, 12 122) to identify a dietary pattern (DP) using thirty-nine predefined food groups as predictors.

Development of the Food Systems-Related Greenhouse Gas Emissions Factor Database Using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018).

Background: The increase in the frequency and scale of climate-related disasters is closely linked to greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs) from food systems. Due to a lack of a comprehensive emission database that covers entire food systems, data on per capita dietary GHGEs are limited.

Objective: We created the Food Systems-related GHGE Factor Database (FS-GHGEF-D) to cover an entire food system and estimate per capita GHGEs for Korea.

Mushroom consumption and cardiometabolic health outcomes in the general population: a systematic review.

Background/objectives: Mushroom consumption, rich in diverse nutrients and bioactive compounds, is suggested as a potential significant contributor to preventing cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). This systematic review aimed to explore the association between mushrooms and cardiometabolic health outcomes, utilizing data from prospective cohort studies and clinical trials focusing on the general population, with mushrooms themselves as a major exposure.

Subjects/methods: All original articles, published in English until July 2023, were identified through searches on PubMed, Ovid-Embase, and google scholar.

Associations of daily diet-related greenhouse gas emissions with the incidence and mortality of chronic diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies.

Objectives: Although the entire process extending from food production to dietary consumption makes a large contribution to total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, little and inconsistent evidence exists on the epidemiological associations of daily diet-related GHG emissions with chronic disease risk or all-cause mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis explored the observational epidemiological relationship between daily diet-related GHG emissions and health outcomes, including the risk of chronic diseases and all-cause mortality.

Methods: Original articles published in English until May 2022 were identified by searching PubMed, Ovid-Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Google Scholar.

Development and validation of dietary atherogenic index using common carotid artery-intima-media thickness: A food frequency questionnaire-based longitudinal study in Korean adults.

Dietary patterns based on pathways of diseases such as subclinical atherosclerosis can predict diet-disease associations better than dietary quality indices or data-driven indices. We aimed to develop and validate a novel dietary atherogenic index (DAI) in adults using the common carotid artery-intima media thickness (c-IMT) in Korean adults. Participants aged ≥40 years from the Yangpyeong cohort were enrolled in the development set (n = 1373).

Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on calcium supplements and dairy products for changes in body weight and obesity indices.

This meta-analysis was performed to investigate whether calcium supplements and dairy products change obesity indices including fat mass. Original articles published in English between July 2009 and August 2019 were identified. Ten and 14 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with ≥ 12 weeks interventions of calcium supplements and dairy products among overweight or obese adults aged ≥18 were critically reviewed.
