The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the level of energy intake from carbohydrate and the dietary and health characteristics among Korean adults. We examined the diet quality and health conditions of Korean adults by segmenting them into eight groups according to the level of energy intake from carbohydrate (<45%, 45–50%, 50–55%, 55–60%, 60–65%, 65–70%, 70–75%, and ≥75%). From the data of the 7th (2016–2017) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), 7566 subjects aged 19 to 64 years were analyzed. Diet quality was much lower in the groups whose energy intake from carbohydrate was <50% or ≥65%, compared to the groups whose energy intake from carbohydrate was 50–65%. Hypertension or low HDL-cholesterolemia was associated with low (<45%) or high (≥70%) energy intake from carbohydrate. We found no considerable difference in the diet quality and health conditions between the groups whose energy intake from carbohydrate was 50–55% and 55–65%. In conclusion, it is suggested to expand the current acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR) for carbohydrate for Korean adults (i.e., 55% to 65%) to include 50–55%.
Nearly complete spin polarization (SP) of carriers was observed in photoluminescence (PL) experiments on CdSe self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) embedded in ZnMnSe at 5 K in magnetic fields above 1 T. The redshift of the PL from CdSe QDs in the presence of the magnetic field was less than that of ZnMnSe, but still sufficiently large to account for the high SP. At low fields, however, the SP of carriers in CdSe QDs is observed to be smaller than in the surrounding ZnMnSe. This, along with time-resolved PL data, suggests that the SP in CdSe QDs is mainly due, not to the injection of SP carriers from ZnMnSe, but rather due to the Zeeman splitting of internal QD states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
