Korean food that looks very vegetarian is really not very friendly to women's blood lipids... The risk of abnormal bad cholesterol can be increased by 40%!

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of NCD-related morbidity and mortality, accounting for an estimated 17.

Dyslipidemia is reported to be the second leading cause of cardiovascular disease risk in Korea .

In this study, dyslipidemia was diagnosed when at least one of the above factors was present, and patients were prescribed medication to treat dyslipidemia

According to the Korean Society of Lipid and Atherosclerosis, women's total daily energy intake has remained constant at 1,549 kcal in 2007 and 1,769 kcal in 2015 over the past decade
.

However, the proportion of women with excessive energy intake increased from 10.

In addition, hormonal changes during the menopausal transition, including increases in androgens and decreases in circulating estrogens, are associated with disturbances in several serum lipids
.

Differences in dyslipidemia between premenopausal and postmenopausal women may interact with the effect of dietary intake on dyslipidemia

This study aimed to identify major dietary patterns and elucidate their associations with the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its components by comparing the highest and lowest pattern scores in Korean women according to menopausal status

This study included 6,166 women from the 2007-2019 cancer screening cohort at the National Cancer Center of Korea
.

Dietary patterns were determined using factor analysis

Factor analysis identified three main dietary patterns, including traditional, Western and prudent eating patterns
.

Traditional dietary patterns are characterized by high intakes of seasonings, vegetables, legumes, potatoes and starches, fish and shellfish, seaweed, mushrooms and pickles, and low intakes of refined grains

Factor analysis identified three main dietary patterns, including traditional, Western and prudent eating patterns

 

The relationship between dietary patterns and dyslipidemia and its components in Korean women is shown in Table 5

However, prudent dietary patterns were not significantly associated with dyslipidemia and its components in all groups or subgroups of women according to menopausal status

In conclusion, in this cross-sectional study, factor analysis revealed three main dietary patterns of Korean women, namely traditional, Western, and prudent eating patterns
.
Overall, prudent dietary patterns were not associated with dyslipidemia or its components
.
High consumption of food groups associated with traditional and Western patterns was positively associated with the prevalence of high LDL cholesterol
.
In postmenopausal women, high consumption of food groups in the traditional dietary pattern was associated with a low prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and a Western dietary pattern was associated with a high prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and low hypercholesterolemia in Korean postmenopausal women There were other significant associations with low prevalence of lipoprotein cholesterol
.
From an energy restriction perspective, the findings of this study suggest that women should not eat a traditional or Western diet excessively or too frequently
