Energy consumption was found to be 92.6% of the estimated energy requirement for men and 88.9% for women. Intake of calcium and vitamin A were lower than the corresponding recommended nutrient intake, while these of sodium exceeded chronic disease risk reduction intake level in both genders (Figure 1).

*The ratio of nutrient intake to Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) by nutrient: average percentage of nutrient intake per person for the DRI (for individuals aged ≥1 year).

The ratio of nutrient intake to DRI by nutrient was calculated using age- and gender-specific structures of the estimated population in the 2005 Korea Census.

DRI: Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans 2020 (Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2020); energy, estimated energy requirement; protein, calcium et al., recommended nutrient intake; sodium, chronic disease risk reduction intake.
