Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans (KDRIs) were newly established by The Korean Nutrition Society in 2005. Based on KDRIs, new recommended food intake patterns for Koreans were also suggested as a dietary guideline. The purpose of this study was to estimate food intake by Korean in comparison to the recommended food intake patterns. 24‐hour recall method was used to collect the dietary intake data from 2007 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Subjects (n=3822) were divided into two age groups; young subjects aged 5–19 years (n=929) and adult subjects aged older than 20 years (n=2893). The amount of food intake for each food group was converted into the number of servings by using recommended serving size of the group. In both age groups, the mean numbers of servings for grain and vegetable group were close to the recommendations. The intakes of each fruit and milk group were lower than the recommendations. However, the consumption of oil, nut and sugar group by young subjects was higher than the recommendation. Over 70% of total subjects consumed less than 75% of recommendations for meat, fruit and milk group. The results suggested that Koreans need to consume more fruits and dairy food. Especially it was needed that young Korean subjects decrease the intake of oils and sugars.
