山間農民の摂取脂肪の量と種類

抄録

There are several reports about the quantity and quality of fats and oils consumed by Japanese people. The present survey was carried out on a certain group of farmers inhabited in a mountainous village in Yamanashi Prefecture in order to know their nutritional status mainly concerning the utilization of fats and oils.
The subjects of the survey were 49 families, and their nutrition intakes were, 2142Cal., 65.1g. protein and 24.4g. fat per capita per day. These values were nearly approximate to those of all-Japan average (the National Nutrition Survey).
The ratio of fat-calorie to total-calorie was 10.8%.
The proportion of animal fat and vegetable oil in the total fat intake was 4:6, the same ratio as in case of Japanese average. Most of the animal fat came from the animal foods, and more than 60% of the vegetable oil they took from the vegetable foods. The only oil food they used was soybean oil.
The composition of the fatty acids of fats and oils consumed by them was presumptively evaluated from the figures appeared in some literature.
