Recent studies have suggested that micronutrients such as magnesium, manganese and copper etc. have beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome (MetS)‐related disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate among magnesium, manganese and copper intakes, and investigate the relation with risk of MetS among Korean adults using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2007–2008. A total of 3,103 adults (male: 1,140, female: 1,963) who aged 19–49 years were included in the analysis. MetS was defined using the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria with a modified waist circumference cutoff (male ≥90cm; female ≥85cm). In females, subjects with high glucose had lower manganese intake than those without such abnormalities (p=0.0366). Also, among male subjects, the OR of MetS in the subjects in the highest copper intake quartile were 0.91 (95% CI: 0.46–1.80) times lower than those in the lowest quartile after adjusting for age, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity and energy intake (p for trend=0.0316). However, no associations were observed between magnesium intake and MetS incidence in our subjects. These finding suggest that copper and manganese intakes may be associated with a decreased risk for MetS in the general Korean adults.
