Iodine is an essential mineral that is critical for humans, as inadequate and excessive intake can lead to adverse health outcomes. Data on dietary iodine intake and adequacy among Koreans remain limited. This study aimed to estimate the dietary iodine intake of Koreans, assess the adequacy of intake, and examine the primary dietary sources of iodine in the Korean population.

This study aimed to perform a nutritional risk assessment in Korean adults by estimating the usual intake of energy and nutrients from foods, including dietary supplement (DS) intake, and assessing the prevalence of excessive and inadequate intake.

Although dietary protein intake has received significant attention recently, research on dietary amino acid (AA) intake remains limited. Thus, this study aimed to estimate AA intake and food sources among Korean adults between 2010 and 2022.

Healthy eating supports mental clarity, physical development, and focus in the classroom. However, government policy, cultural customs, education, family income, and food access, influence children's nutrition, which in turn affects school-age children's growth, development, and academic achievement. This study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators influencing the nutritional and dietary intake of school-age children in urban low-income settings in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Fatigue is closely associated with an impaired mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and inefficient energy metabolism, all contributing to reduced physical performance. Nutritional strategies targeting mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defense may help alleviate fatigue and enhance endurance. This study examined the anti-fatigue and antioxidant effects of an amino acid (AA)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) mixture comprised of 3 AAs (cysteine [Cys], glutamine [Gln], and leucine [Leu]) and EGCG on mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative stress mitigation, and physical performance enhancement.

This study examined whether the intake pattern of dietary and supplementary vitamin C differs according to the sufficiency of fruit and vegetable (FV) intake and assessed the risk of vitamin C insufficiency according to FV sufficiency and vitamin C supplement use.

Interest in health improvement through mobile application (app)-based dietary interventions is increasing, and related research is on the rise. Mobile app usage as a means of dietary intervention is currently underwhelming. Therefore, this study aimed to provide dietary recommendations to patients through a mobile app and analyze the impact of their consumption on the improvement of health indicators.

Steamed ginger extract (GGE03) has been proposed as a complementary treatment for osteoarthritis (OA). On the other hand, the efficacy and mechanism are incompletely understood. This study examined the anti-osteoarthritic effects of GGE03 in monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced OA Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.

Shift work, defined as employment outside standard working hours, is becoming increasingly common in industrialized countries. This study examined the differences in eating behaviors, home meal replacement (HMR) consumption, and nutrition quotient (NQ) between male shift and non-shift workers.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the buildup of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) within arterial walls, triggering inflammation and vascular constriction. Vitamin D has been shown to suppress T cell proliferation, reduce inflammatory responses, and promote the development of regulatory T cells (Tregs). However, its role in modulating T cell function in atherosclerotic models is not fully understood. This study examined the effects of vitamin D supplementation on T cell activation and Treg development in mice.

The association between coffee and tea consumption and the risk of hyperuricemia and gout remains controversial. This meta-analysis of observational studies evaluated this association.

Hyperlipidemia is a lipid metabolic disease and statins are mainly used to treat hyperlipidemia in the clinics. However, resistance to statin therapy is a limitation. (AST) is a vegetable that has had poorly studied effects on hyperlipidemia.

This study aimed to evaluate the validity of estimating food quantities using photographs taken at different angles to increase the accuracy of dietary intake surveys.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe trauma in the central nervous system (CNS) that not only affects human health but also imposes a significant burden on families. Several herbal extracts have been ascertained to regulate SCI progression. polysaccharide (CDP), extracted from , exhibits beneficial effects in a variety of diseases. However, the regulatory roles and associated pathways of CDP in the SCI progression remains unclear.

Telomere length is influenced by inflammation, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia, which can be modulated by dietary factors. Nevertheless, it is still uncertain if diets with greater insulinemic or inflammatory potential are linked to shorter telomere length.

The proliferation of appearance-centered values on social media has driven non-obese adolescents towards increasingly extreme diets and exercise programs to achieve weight loss. Despite this, the effects of concurrent diets and exercise on musculoskeletal development during adolescence are unclear. This study examined whether prolonged endurance exercise (EX) with intermittent fasting during adolescence adversely affects musculoskeletal growth.

This study examined the anti-osteoarthritic effects of a Linn ethanol extract (CLE), standardized to 500 mg/g of curcuminoids, in monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis (OA) Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.

Although seaweed has recently been attracting attention as an important source for the control of numerous diseases including cancer, studies on the anti-cancer activity of the green alga (Linnaeus) J. Agardh. are still insufficient. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer activity of the green alga in human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B cells.

Our study aimed to investigate the association of food group intake and the quality of diet with the risk of loss of muscle mass in Korean baby boomers using a large-scale national cohort data.

Chronotype and ultra-processed food (UPF) intake are individually associated with metabolic risk, but their combined effect remains unclear. This study examined the interaction between chronotype and UPF intake in relation to insulin resistance, assessed by the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index.

The Korean population traditionally consumes more iodine-rich seaweeds than Western populations due to dietary culture and geographical location. However, the association between excessive iodine intake and thyroid disease remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the association between iodine intake and thyroid disease using the largest-scale Korean cohort data.
