This study explored to identify clustering patterns of metabolic risk factors and its association with dietary factors in Korean adults. The 156 subjects were recruited through family medicine department of a general hospital in Seoul. Subjects who had all the information of blood glucose, lipid indicators, blood pressure, and waist circumference were used. Dietary data was obtained from multiple 24‐hour recalls (2 to 4 days) through on‐site or telephone interview. To identify clustering patterns of metabolic risk factors, factor analysis was used for waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, blood glucose, triglycerides, and HDL‐cholesterol. Three patterns were identified: 1) High blood pressure, 2) Dyslipidemia, and 3) Glucose abnormalities. High blood pressure pattern was significantly associated with lower carbohydrate intake (percent of energy) but higher alcohol intake. Dyslipidemia pattern was significantly associated with higher intakes of dietary glycemic index, glycemic load, total grains, white rice, and kimchi (traditional fermented cabbage). Glucose abnormalities pattern was significantly associated with lower carbohydrate (percent of energy) and fruit juice intake but higher alcohol and vegetable intake. In conclusion, metabolic risk factors have three distinct clustering patterns that are independently associated with dietary factors in Korean adults.
