Isoflavone intake of Korean adults and its association with metabolic syndrome(MeS) and its risk factors were examined using the fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007~2009. Amount of isoflavone intake of men and women over 19 years old was estimated from a 24‐hour recall using isoflavone database developed by Park MK, a compilation of analytic data of Korean foods and data from other country. Mean isoflavone intake of Korean adults was 19.7 mg/day. Age group of 50~64 years old showed highest isoflavone intake among age groups of Korean adults, but it was not significantly different with that of age group over 65 years old when it was adjusted with energy intake. Though there was no significant difference in isoflavone intake between people with MeS and without MeS in total Korean adults, in age groups of 65 years and over isoflavone intake of people with MeS was significantly lower than that of people without MeS. Regarding the each risk factors of MeS, people who have abdominal obesity showed lower isoflavone intake than people without abdominal obesity. When odds ratio for MeS was compared by quartile of isoflavone intake, odds ratio for MeS was lower as isoflavone intake goes higher in age groups of 65 years and over. This trend was still remained when isoflavone intake was adjusted for energy intake. It seems that there was an association between isoflavone intake and MeS in the Korean elderly.
