The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship among Framingham Heart Score (FHS), nutrients and food group intakes in Korean adults. A total 310 healthy adult (males; 131, female; 179) aged 30~79 participated in this study. FHS of total subjects was 11.72. The subjects were divided into two groups: low FHS group (FHS<13) (n=150), and high FHS group (FSH>=13) (n=160) according their FHS. The average energy intakes of low and high FHS groups were 1622.53 kcal and 1498.78 kcal, respectively and no significant difference in energy intake was observed between two groups. However, low FHS group consumed significantly higher quantities of fat (p<.0001), vitamin A (p=.0244), vitamin B1 (p=.0186), vitamin B2 (p<.0001), vitamin E (p=.0251), animal calcium (p=.0050), and cholesterol (p<.0001) per 1000 kcal, whereas intake of carbohydrate per 1000 kcal of high FHS group (p=.0013) was significantly higher than that of low FHS group. Also, intake of egg (p=.0024) and milk (p=.0007) in low FHS group were significantly higher than those of high FHS group. Fat, vitamin A, B2, calcium, and cholesterol intake showed significantly negative correlations with FHS adjusted for energy intake. These results suggest that low intakes of micronutrients such as calcium and vitamins may be more related to Framingham Heart Score than high energy and food intakes in Korean adults.
