The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between dietary patterns and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its risk components among Korean adults at risk of metabolic diseases. This cross‐sectional study included 280 subjects (152 men, 128 women) between 30 and 59 years of age recruited by the Bundang Jesaeng Hospital, Korea. MetS was defined based on Adult Treatment Panel III. Dietary data were collected using 3‐day food records. The percentage of energy intakes from 23 food groups was calculated, and a factor analysis was applied to identify dietary patterns. Four major dietary patterns were derived; “Grains, nuts and fruits (9.1%)”, “Bread, dairy and cereal, snacks (9.1%)”, “Meat and alcohol (7.1%)” and “Sweets, seasonings and oils (7.1%)”. In “Grains, nuts and fruits” pattern, participants in the highest quartile had lower odds ratios for MetS (OR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.20–0.95) and high fasting glucose (OR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.19–0.93) than those in the lowest quartile. Our study suggests that the “Grains, nuts and fruits” pattern has beneficial effects on the risk of MetS in Korean adults.
