Abstract

Abstract: Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the food and nutrition intake of Korean infants(aged 4∼6 years). Methods: To accomplish this research, data were collected from the 2013∼2017 KNHANES (Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) by the dietary intake survey(24-h recall method). This study included (478 aged 4 years, 462 aged 5 years and 454 aged 6 years, total: 1394) infants 4∼6 years old. To analyze the dietary assessment of Korean infants, the general characteristics, dietary behaviors, the frequently consumed foods(rice, fruit and vegetable) and food/nutrition intake were analyzed. Results: The frequently consumed rice foods of infants were cooked white rice ( ssalbab ), cooked grain rice ( japgogbab ) and fried rice ( bokkeumbab ). The frequently consumed fruit and vegetable foods of infants were apple, mandarin and pear. Conclusions: The results of this study can be used to provide basic data for the dietary guideline and nutrition education to improve the dietary life of Korean infants.
