Estimation of Dietary Amino Acid Intake and Independent Correlates of Skeletal Muscle Mass Index among Korean Adults

The aim of this study was to develop a database to identify dietary amino acid intake levels, and to determine whether any amino acid groups were independently correlated with skeletal muscle mass index (SMI). We used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008–2011, an...

description The aim of this study was to develop a database to identify dietary amino acid intake levels, and to determine whether any amino acid groups were independently correlated with skeletal muscle mass index (SMI). We used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008–2011, and a total of 3292 participants aged 50–64 years were included in the analysis. Dietary data were obtained using the 24 h recall method. Data regarding dietary amino acid intake was assessed using the computer-aided nutritional analysis program 4.0 published by the Korean Nutrition Society. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to identify independent correlates of SMI. The major food group that contributed the highest essential amino acid intake was grain and grain products (histidine 25.5%, isoleucine 43.9%, leucine 44.2%, methionine 31.0%, phenylalanine 44.8%, tryptophan 26.4%, and valine 50.8%). Higher SMI was independently associated with sex (men), lower age and body mass index, higher levels of physical activity, and a higher intake of energy and branched-chain amino acids. These results are expected to be used as a basis for developing dietary amino acid intake guidelines for Koreans.
