Abstract
As a result of the Korean National Nutrition Survey over 17 years from 1969 to 1986, and considering the data of other nutritional status survey, we reported changes of nutrition and food intake and recent nutritional status in Korea. In the recent situation of nutrition intake in Korea, it seems that the Korean people almost overcome quantitative problems in general but they are now in the stage of qualitative improvement. A pretty big gap, however, still exists in nutritional status among individual communities and groups. This gap cannot be separated from social and cultural characteristics such as income, educational level, age and sex. When we discuss the nutritional problems in the whole community health, it is inevitable to solve the health and nutritional problems in the vulnerable populations, especially in the low income class of rural district and city by public health approach.
