Although food labeling on packages is crucial for promoting a healthy diet, limited research has been conducted how the COVID-19 pandemic (hereinafter "the pandemic") affected awareness. Therefore, this study aims to analyze changes in trends awareness, comprehension, and usage South Korea during pandemic. We utilized nationwide, large-scale, long-term dataset provided by Community Health Survey (KCHS) from 2014 2022 (total = 1,756,847 participants). This allowed researchers assess prevalence of usage. Furthermore, we investigated factors associated with awareness specifically related In total, adults (54.19% women) participated study. The upward slope overall became less pronounced even exhibited downward (βdiff - 1.759; 95% CI 1.874 1.644). comprehension more (comprehension: βdiff 0.535; 0.436-0.634; usage: 0.693; 0.601-0.785). vulnerability lower included older age, male, obesity, residing rural areas, household income, educational level, smoking, increased alcohol consumption. analyzed 9-year trend based nationally representative data 2022.

Ultra-processed foods are linked to adverse health outcomes, making it crucial monitor consumption trends. Despite rising due Westernized diets in Asia, long-term studies targeting Asian adults lacking. Thus, we analyzed ultra-processed food trends among Korean from 1998 2022. Additionally, compared intakes before and during the pandemic evaluate potential impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, nutrient profiles non-ultra-processed group intakes. This study used data Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2022, classifying into four NOVA groups. Dietary intake was assessed In 2020-2022, had a higher proportion using single 24-hour recall for 96,447 individuals aged 20 years or older.

Background Type 2 diabetes poses an increasing disease burden in South Korea. The development and management of type are closely related to lifestyle socioeconomic factors, which have undergone substantial changes over the past few decades, including during COVID-19 pandemic. Objective This study aimed investigate long-term trends prevalence, awareness, treatment, control. It also determine whether there were alterations pandemic these more pronounced within specific demographic groups. Methods examined control a representative sample 139,786 Koreans aged >30 years, using data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey covering period 1998 2022. Weighted linear regression binary logistic performed calculate weighted β coefficients or odds ratios. Stratified analyses based on sex, age, region residence, obesity status, educational background, household income, smoking status. (difference) was calculated analyze trend difference between prepandemic To identify groups susceptible diabetes, we estimated interaction terms for each factor Results From 2022, consistent increase prevalence observed among Koreans, with notable rise 15.61% (95% CI 14.83-16.38) Awareness followed U-shaped curve, bottoming out at 64.37% 61.79-66.96) 2013 2015 before 72.56% 70.39-74.72) Treatment increased time, peaking 68.33% 65.95-70.71) Control participants showed no change, maintaining rate 29.14% 26.82-31.47) 2020 while treated improved 30.68% 27.88-33.48). During pandemic, steepening curves awareness treatment. However, slope being increased, change Older populations individuals lower level exhibited less improvement than younger educated individuals.
