Obesity is a well-known risk factor for various chronic diseases. Among the various risk factors for obesity, diet is one of the most modifiable. This study aimed to review current research on the association between obesity and the Korean diet compared with the Mediterranean diet. An electronic literature search was conducted using Medline and Embase. Totals of 10 and 17 studies were included in this review for the Korean dietary pattern (KDP) and the Mediterranean dietary pattern (MDP), respectively. These studies mainly applied factor analysis for the KDP and index analysis for the MDP. Only one of 10 KDP articles reported a significant inverse association with obesity, while most MDP studies showed a preventive association with obesity. There are a limited number of KDP studies compared with MDP studies, and the methods of deriving the dietary patterns are different between the KDP and MDP. To produce more conclusive evidence on the association between the KDP and obesity, well-designed and controlled trials or large prospective cohort studies are needed.
肥胖是多种慢性疾病的一个众所周知的风险因素。在导致肥胖的各种风险因素中，饮食是最可改变的因素之一。本研究旨在综述当前关于肥胖与韩国饮食（与地中海饮食相比）之间关联的研究。使用Medline和Embase进行了电子文献检索。本综述分别纳入了10项和17项关于韩国饮食模式（KDP）和地中海饮食模式（MDP）的研究。这些研究主要对KDP应用了因素分析，对MDP应用了指数分析。10篇关于KDP的文章中只有1篇报道了与肥胖存在显著的负相关，而大多数MDP研究表明与肥胖存在预防关联。与MDP研究相比，KDP研究数量有限，并且KDP和MDP推导饮食模式的方法不同。为了得出关于KDP与肥胖之间关联的更确凿证据，需要设计良好的对照试验或大型前瞻性队列研究。
