The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) was initiated in 1998 to provide evidence for the development and evaluation of health policies and programs. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency is responsible for the KNHANES and has conducted it as a series of surveys. Over the past 20 years, efforts to produce accurate, timely, and nationwide health statistics have been refined by establishing a continuous annual survey system with full-time field staff, incrementally expanding survey components, collaborating with relevant academic societies for quality control, and revising the survey methods. Additionally, the utility of the collected data was increased by linking the KNHANES data with related data from other government agencies or institutions and making the overall data publicly available on the official website of KNHANES (https://knhanes.kdca.go.kr). Additional long-term plans are being developed, including plans to continue producing nationwide health indicators and invigorating the utilization of the KNHANES data.
韩国国民健康营养调查（KNHANES）于 1998 年启动，旨在为卫生政策和计划的制定和评估提供依据。韩国疾病控制与预防署负责 KNHANES，并将其作为一系列调查进行。在过去的 20 年里，通过建立一个全职现场工作人员的连续年度调查系统、逐步扩大调查内容、与相关学术协会合作进行质量控制以及修订调查方法，对产生准确、及时和全国性健康统计数据的努力进行了完善。此外，通过将 KNHANES 数据与其他政府机构或机构的相关数据进行链接，并在 KNHANES 的官方网站（https://knhanes.kdca.go.kr）上公开提供所有数据，提高了所收集数据的实用性。正在制定更多的长期计划，包括继续制作全国性健康指标和加强 KNHANES 数据利用的计划。
