ABSTRACT
Arthritis is the third most common chronic disease in Korea and causes severe pain and discomfort. This study utilized the data from the 5th National Health and Nutrition Survey. It is known that inappropriate nutritional status among the causes of pain in arthritis patients is caused by energy supply disturbance. In this study, women had a higher prevalence of arthritis than men. The prevalence of arthritis was high in subjects with lower education and economic status. Vitamin B1 and iron, potassium and calcium intake in patients with arthritis were lower than those recommended. In particular, pain in patients with arthritis was significantly different according to the recommended intake of vitamin B1 and calcium. Nutrient intake and pain were associated with arthritis. It has been confirmed that nutritional guideline intervention for proper nutrient intake is necessary as an active countermeasure to prevent pain and aggravation of arthritis patients.
