Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the relationship between dietary fiber intake and muscle strength through a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Korea National Health and Examination Survey (KNHANES). Data from a single 24-h dietary recall and handgrip strength tests of 10,883 younger adults aged 19 to 64 years and 3,961 older adults aged ≥ 65 years were analyzed. Low muscle strength was defined as handgrip strength < 28 kg for men and < 18 kg for women. Multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the association of dietary fiber intake with muscle strength. Approximately 43% of Korean adults met the recommended intake of dietary fiber, and those with higher dietary fiber consumption also had higher total energy and protein intake. After adjusting for confounding variables, dietary fiber intake was found to be positively associated with maximal handgrip strength in younger women aged 19 to 64 years (β = 0.015; standard error [SE] = 0.006) and older men aged ≥ 65 years (β = 0.035; SE = 0.014).

Therefore, this case report aims to provide basic data for the safe and effective nutritional support in septic shock patients who require vasopressors. A 62-year-old male patient was admitted to the intensive care unit with a deep neck infection and mediastinitis that progressed to a septic condition. Mechanical ventilation was initiated after intubation due to progression of respiratory acidosis and deterioration of mental status, and severe hypotension required the initiation of norepinephrine. Due to hemodynamic instability, the patient was kept nil per os. Subsequently, trophic feeding was initiated at the time of norepinephrine dose tapering and was gradually increased to achieve 75% of the energy requirement through EN by the 7th day of enteral feeding initiation. Although there were signs of feeding intolerance during the increasing phase of EN, adjusting the rate of EN resolved the issue. This case report demonstrates the gradual progression and adherence to EN in septic shock patient requiring vasopressors, and the progression observed was relatively consistent with existing studies and guidelines.
