Abstract

Abstract: Objectives: To investigate the association between dietary patterns and handgrip strength in Korean youth population. Methods: This cross-sectional study used HGS and HGSWR data from 2327 participants aged 10 to18 years in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) in 2014–2017. Overall food intake data was subcategorized into 25 food groups from the Korean Nutrient Database. Results: The clusters were examined for nutritional value, and 3 clusters were generated: 'ready to eat(white rice, eggs, fish, dairy products and processed food)', 'balanced(wholegrains, potatoes, beans, nuts, vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, eggs, fish, seaweed and dairy products)' and 'western style fast food(wheat/bread, noodles, sugars, meats, oils, sodas (sweetened and unsweetened) and seasonings)'. Compared with the balanced diet, participants with the convenient diet pattern were shown to have significantly lower HGS (β = −1.3, P < 0.05) and HGSWR(β = −1.6, P < 0.05). However, no significant association was found between HGS or HGSWR when the western style fast food diet pattern was compared to the balanced diet pattern. Conclusions: Our findings suggest the possibility that reduced muscle quality can reflect by type of diet in Korean children and adolescents. Funding Sources: There was no funding source for this study.
