| Abstract |
Background
This study tests a hypothesis that the conventional meal pattern of eating all of breakfast, lunch, and dinner is associated with nutrients adequacy and cardiovascular risk factors in Korean adults. Methods: This study uses the 24-hour dietary recall and the eating habit questionnaires from the nutrition survey of the 2005 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 6,439 adults consisting of 2,886 men and 3,553 women were included in the analysis. The question, “Did you eat all of breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the last two days?” was given. A “yes” classified the participant as a 'regular eater’ (RE), a “no”,an ‘irregular eater’ (IRE). Results: Among the study participants, 71% (n=2,061) of men and 65.1% (n=2,314) of women were REs. Proportions of REs increased with age. Meal regularity was significantly related to marital status, regular exercise (men), and smoking status (women). The RE group had a greater tendency for eating with family members and less tendency for eating out (women). The meal regularity was related with macronutrients intake and the adequacy of micronutrients intake. The IRE group had a significantly higher fasting glucose (men) and LDL cholesterol level than the RE group. Conclusions: A regular eating habit of three meals per day is not only associated with nutrients intake, but related with cardiovascular risk profiles.
