This study compared dietary intakes of Korean, Korean-American, and American adolescents. Data were collected by 24-hour recall method from 471 Korean and 134 Korean-American adolescents. Data for American adolescents were obtained from NHANES III. Korean Americans had the lowest energy and cholesterol intakes but a higher percentage of energy from fat compared with Koreans. Korean and Korean Americans had lower intakes of calcium, iron, and zinc but higher sodium intake than Americans. Intakes of energy, folate, calcium, and iron in all three groups were below the recommended intakes for American adolescents. Korean Americans consumed cooked rice and Kimchi less often, but cookies, sweets, and soda were consumed more frequently than Koreans. These results indicate that Korean-American adolescents' dietary profiles are midway between those typical in Korea vs the United States. Nutrition education must focus on the benefits and weaknesses of Korean and western diets and how to blend the two cultures for optimal nutrition.
本研究比较了韩国青少年、韩裔美国青少年和美国青少年的饮食摄入量。通过24小时回忆法收集了471名韩国青少年和134名韩裔美国青少年的数据。美国青少年的数据来自第三次美国国家健康和营养检查调查（NHANES III）。与韩国人相比，韩裔美国人的能量和胆固醇摄入量最低，但脂肪提供的能量百分比更高。韩国人和韩裔美国人的钙、铁和锌摄入量低于美国人，但钠摄入量高于美国人。三组人群的能量、叶酸、钙和铁摄入量均低于美国青少年的推荐摄入量。韩裔美国人较少食用米饭和泡菜，但比韩国人更频繁地食用饼干、糖果和汽水。这些结果表明，韩裔美国青少年的饮食结构处于韩国和美国典型饮食结构之间。营养教育必须关注韩国饮食和西方饮食的优缺点，以及如何融合这两种文化以实现最佳营养。
