Association between daily protein intake and cardiometabolic risk factors and metablic syndrome in Korean elderly women: Based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009~2013
Background: The Rrecommended daily aAllowances (RDA) of for protein is increasing in recent studieshas increased in recent studies. However, virtual protein intake is lower than the
RDA in the majority of Korean elderly Korean women. ObjectPurpose: This study was performed to evalauate the relationship between protein intake, and cardiometabolic risk factors,
and metabolic syndrome in Korean elderly Korean women group.
Methods: This study used the data from Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey administered from for 5years in 2009~2013. We performed multivariate analysis for on the association
of between protein intake with and cardiometabolic risk factors including body weight, weight circumference, blood pressure, glucose, triglycerides, and HDL. We controlled for
age, physical activity, energy intake, carbohydrate intake, total fat intake, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Then weWe then performed logistic regression analysis to study of the
associateion with metabolic syndrometo assess association with metabolic syndrome.
Results: Protein intake was inversely associated with BMI and, weight circumference, ,whereas a positive association was observed between protein intake and HDL cholesterol, especially
in the normal weight group. Protein intake also haswas also association associated with metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion: In this study, protein intake is was related associated with cardiometabolic risk factors and metabolic syndrome. We recommend sufficient protain protein intake in elderly
women to decrease cardiometabolic risk factors and metabolic syndrome.ope
