Relative Excess Risk of Metabolic Syndrome Due to Interaction Between Handgrip Strength and Dietary Patterns Among Korean Youth.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adolescence increases chronic disease risk in adulthood. No study has explored the combined effects of skeletal muscle strength and dietary patterns in MetS. This study aimed to examine the individual and combined effects of dietary patterns and HGS on MetS and its components in Korean adolescents. Methods: Using the 2014-2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data, a weighted sample of approximately 3.75 million adolescents was included. Dietary patterns were derived using principal component analysis. Relative handgrip strength (HGS) was calculated. Multivariable logistic regression and relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) were used to assess dietary patterns, HGS, and MetS, stratified by sex
