The objective of this study was to examine the dietary and nutritional status of Koreans based on the 4th Health Plan 2020 (HP2020) nutrition indicators. Analysis was performed using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey IV-VI (2007-2015). Only two indicators met the HP2020 target: “Decrease the proportion of the elderly (aged 75 years or older) with insufficient intake of nutrients" and "Increase the proportion of population with adequate intake of riboflavin". The remaining indicators, including “Increase healthy eating practice rate,” need to be improved. It seems that many efforts are needed to achieve the goals of “Decrease the proportion of population who skip breakfast”, “Proportion of population with adequate intake of Vitamin A”, and “Increase the proportion of population receiving nutrition education or counseling."
