Fourth revision was made sweepingly to Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan in 1982. We studied the changes in nutrient intake levels for young people in the revised standard table with 115 students (105 males and 15 females) ranging in age from 19 to 32 as subjects.
The results were as follows:
1) Ca, Na, vitamins A, B1, B2 and C were significantly higher while P and Fe were significantly lower in the 4th revision than in the 3rd revision.
2) Protein was higher by 7% and fat lower by 4% in the 4th revision.
