Individual sensory liking is perceived as a major determinant of dietary intake and may influence chronic disease. This study aimed to assess the odds of metabolic syndrome in Korean adults based on their liking for fat. Data from 7731 adults aged 40⁻69, included in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, were collected. Fat liking scores were obtained from self-report questionnaires. In both genders, sensory liking for fat was positively associated with consumption of red meat and added fat. Subjects with a stronger liking for fat showed a higher intake of energy and fat and a lower intake of vitamin C and fiber as compared to subjects with a lower liking for fat. There were increasing trends in the odds of metabolic syndrome with stronger liking for fat (odds ratios (ORs) for the Like group compared to the Dislike group, men: ORs = 1.29 (95% confidence interval 1.06⁻1.50) -trend = 0.01; women: ORs = 1.28 (1.04⁻1.58) -trend = 0.018) after adjustment for age, alcohol intake, smoking, exercise, education level, and income status. Our results suggested that the liking for fat-rich food might partially contribute to the increased odds of metabolic syndrome.
个体对感官的喜好被认为是饮食摄入的主要决定因素，并可能影响慢性疾病。本研究旨在评估韩国成年人对脂肪的喜好与代谢综合征之间的关联。数据来自韩国基因组与流行病学研究中的 7731 名 40⁻69 岁成年人。通过自填问卷获得对脂肪的喜好评分。在男性和女性中，对脂肪的感官喜好与红肉类和添加脂肪的摄入量呈正相关。与对脂肪喜好较低的人群相比，对脂肪喜好较强的人群摄入的能量和脂肪更多，而摄入的维生素 C 和纤维更少。对脂肪的喜好越强，代谢综合征的患病风险也越高（与不喜欢组相比，喜欢组的比值比（OR），男性：OR=1.29（95%置信区间 1.06⁻1.50）-趋势=0.01；女性：OR=1.28（1.04⁻1.58）-趋势=0.018），经年龄、酒精摄入、吸烟、运动、教育水平和收入状况调整后。我们的结果表明，对高脂肪食物的喜好可能部分导致代谢综合征患病风险增加。
