Association Between Kimchi Intake and Dyslipidemia in Korean Adults

Seok-Jae Oh published a prospective cohort study on figshare in 2026. The dataset contains results from 4,666 participants in the Ansan-Anseong cohort, analyzing the relationship between kimchi consumption and cholesterol-related health outcomes. The analysis used Cox proportional hazards models to calculate hazard ratios.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between specific food intake and dyslipidemia risk based on hazard ratios.
• Conducting secondary analysis on dietary factors for cholesterol management using cohort data.
• Studying gender-specific health effects of fermented vegetable consumption based on the results for men and women.

Strengths

• Data is from a specific cohort of 4,666 Korean adults.
• Analysis includes gender-stratified results with hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
• Kimchi consumption was quantified using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 45.6 KB, suggesting it contains summary results rather than raw participant-level data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
