PURPOSE: Dietary patterns are found to be associated with metabolic risk factors. We explored gender difference on the association between dietary patterns and the risk of @entity209 ( @entity209 ) in the general Korean population. METHOD: A total of 13,410 Korean adults (aged >= 19  years, 5384 @entity1 and 8026 @entity1 ) who participated in the fifth KNHANES were studied. Dietary intake was assessed by the 24-h recall method. @entity209 was defined by the joint interim statement of the International @entity6 Federation and the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the relationship between dietary pattern and @entity209 and its components by gender. RESULTS: Three dietary patterns were derived using factor analysis by sex: traditional, Westernized, and healthy. The traditional pattern was positively associated with @entity2298 (P for trend  =  0.0098), low high-density lipoprotein @entity165 (P for trend  =  0.0007), elevated blood pressure (P for trend  =  0.0328), and @entity209 (P for trend  =  0.0003) in @entity1 only after adjusting for age, body mass index, socioeconomic status, and lifestyle factors. In contrast, the @entity7944 ( @entity7944 ) was negatively associated with @entity1144 (P for trend  =  0.0051) in @entity1 . For @entity1 , the @entity7944 was negatively associated with @entity2298 (P for trend  =  0.0025) after adjustment for potential confounders. The Westernized pattern was not associated with @entity209 or its components in either @entity1 or @entity1 . CONCLUSION: There may be gender differences on the relationship between dietary patterns and metabolic risk factors in Korean population.
