Abstract
In the previous reports the authors have stated the results of regional investigation and diagnosis of “the consciousness of living” and “the actual state of the dietary life” of housewives living in the region designated for controlling the health of high blood pressure of people at Huzioka City, Gunma Prefecture, and made clear the particular problem in dietary instruction.
In this report “Transition of the actual state of dietary life” and “Individual nutrition and synoptic medical examination” in Hirai region, Huzioka City, were investigated.
The changes in intake of food groups in families here investigated were as follows:
(1) The intake of raw milk and milk products increased nearly 3 times as compared with those in 1967.
(2) The tendency of equalization in the rice intake was shown in the whole region, but families taking especially a large amount of rice, decreased in number.
(3) The consumption of eggs, meat, fish and shell-fish in the daily dietary life appeared to be preferable.
From the result of overall medical examination, due to the small number of samples, any correlations between the general properties of blood serum and nutrition in individuals could not be found.
