Nutrient Intake of the Residents in Chungbuk Province Based on 2010 – 2013 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

This study was conducted to compare the nutrient intake of the residents in Chungbuk province based on 2010–2013 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The proportions of people who consumed less than Estimated Average Requirements for selected nutrients depending on sex, age, area of residence, body mass index, smoking, and drinking frequency were also determined in order to identify a high-risk group in Chungbuk province. The mean intakes of energy, calcium, and vitamin C of Chungbuk residents were significantly lower than the national average, while the mean intake of sodium was significantly higher, when those were expressed as the percentages of dietary reference intakes. Women, those aged 12–18 years, those older than 75 years, those with lower levels of education and income were identified as a high-risk group for inadequate nutrient intake. Smokers and frequent drinkers were identified as a high-risk group for excessive sodium intake. Our study indicated that high rates of drinking, smoking, and hypertension in Chungbuk province, as reported by the Community Health Survey, may be associated with excessive sodium consumption. The strategies to increase the intakes of calcium and vitamin C, and reduce sodium consumption are needed to improve the nutritional status and health of the residents in Chungbuk province.
