Koreans eat white rice only or with mixed grains or soybeans as a staple food. We compared the metabolic syndrome indexes by their rice eating patterns. Subjects from Korean genome and epidemiology study were 30,629. They were the participants of cohort who were recruited at the health examination center in 2004–2006. The mean age of subjects was 53.0 years old. The subjects were classified into 3 patterns (White Rice:WR; Soybean and Rice:SR; Mixed Grains and Rice: MGR) on the basis of their food frequency questionnaire. Waist circumference (WC), blood triglyceride (TG), HDL‐cholesterol, fasting blood sugar (FBS), Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure and estimated nutrient consumptions were compared by each pattern. WC was significantly high in WR group. TG was significantly low and HDL was elevated as expected but FBS was also elevated in MGR group. Two types of blood pressures were similar among groups. MGR group showed positive status in metabolic syndrome indexes except FBS but their estimated energy and carbohydrate consumptions were higher than those of other two groups. These results were from baseline data. We need further study for the effect on the health status by their eating patterns.
