초록

This study was conducted to investigate the dietary phytochemical intakes and its relationship with chronic diseases in the Korean elderly. Dietary assessment was performed using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), which included 98 commonly consumed foods with actual size pictures. For estimating phytochemical intakes, we made the phytochemical database using the Korean published data and USDA references. Dietary phytochemicals studied included five carotenoids, five flavonoids, and five isoflavones.(omitted)
