This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the associations between food groups and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The data of 14,979 participants in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2016 and 2018 were examined. The HRQoL was assessed with EuroQol-5 Dimension. The 24-h recall test was used to examine the dietary intake of food groups. Males and females accounted for 13.79% and 21.62% of the low HRQoL groups. The males in the lowest tertile of the "vegetables" and "fish and shellfish" food groups were more likely to have a low HRQoL (odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.25 (1.05-1.65), 1.45 (1.12-1.89), respectively) than those in the highest tertile, whereas those in the lowest tertile of the "cereal and grain products" were less likely to have a low HRQoL (OR (95% CI) = 0.69 (0.52-0.91)). The females in the lowest tertile of the "vegetables" food group were more likely to have a low HRQoL (OR (95% CI) = 1.56 (1.17-3.01)) than those in the highest tertile. After adjusting for confounders indagated with not only dietary but also non-dietary factors such as stress, we found that low HRQoL was significantly associated with food groups of "vegetables", "fish and shellfish", and "cereal and grain products" among males and of "vegetables" among females.
本横断面研究旨在探讨食物组与健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）之间的关联。研究对象为 2016 年至 2018 年参加韩国国家健康与营养调查的 14979 名参与者。采用 EuroQol-5 维度评估 HRQoL，使用 24 小时回顾法检测食物组的饮食摄入量。男性和女性分别占低 HRQoL 组的 13.79%和 21.62%。“蔬菜”和“鱼贝类”食物组中最低三分位的男性更有可能出现低 HRQoL（比值比（OR），95%置信区间（CI）=1.25（1.05-1.65），1.45（1.12-1.89）），而“谷物制品”中最低三分位的男性则不太可能出现低 HRQoL（OR（95%CI）=0.69（0.52-0.91））。“蔬菜”食物组中最低三分位的女性更有可能出现低 HRQoL（OR（95%CI）=1.56（1.17-3.01）），而最高三分位的女性则不太可能出现低 HRQoL。在调整了不仅包括饮食因素，还包括压力等非饮食因素的混杂因素后，我们发现低 HRQoL 与男性的“蔬菜”、“鱼贝类”和“谷物制品”以及女性的“蔬菜”食物组显著相关。
