This study evaluated zinc, manganese, copper, and magnesium intake levels in Koreans using the Korean Total Diet Study, targeting 92–93% of the Korean diet. Representative foods were collected from 9 cities, resulting in 1344–1368 samples. Results showed adequate intake for most minerals, but high proportions of adults and adolescents didn’t meet recommended levels. Infants had high levels of zinc and manganese intake, posing possible health concerns. This is the first comprehensive assessment of these nutrients in Korea and is significant for considering all age groups, including infants, by analyzing nutrient content for table-ready (cooked) samples of foods. It is hoped that the Korean Total Diet Survey will be expanded to assess a wider range of nutrients for better nutrient intake assessment in Korea.
