Planetary Health Diet Adherence in Korean Adults: Association with the Korean Healthy Eating Index.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) was developed to address global health and environmental challenges by promoting sustainable and nutritionally adequate eating patterns. This study evaluated adherence to the PHD among Korean adults and examined its association with the Korean Healthy Eating Index (KHEI), with the aim of informing the development of a Korea-specific PHD adherence index.

Methods

Using data from the 2013-2023 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), dietary intake of adults aged ≥19 years was analyzed. Adherence was assessed by comparing food group consumption with PHD reference ranges, and KHEI scores were calculated to examine their association with PHD compliance and nutrient intake. Analyses were also stratified
