Nutritional Status of the People Living in Sajison and Iwamicho-Tajiri of Tottori Prefecture

Abstract

The nutrient intake of people living in areas of Sajison and Iwamicho of Tottori Prefecture was estimated using the Japanese Standard Food Composition Table. The means of nutrient intake for the group was sufficient to meet the Japanese Recommended Dietary. Allowances, though the estimated values for individuals varied considerably. The inter-individual variations in intake of vitamin A and D were especially great. The intake of vitamin A and sodium calculated from the table of nutrients for the food group was less than intake calculated from the Japanese Standard Food Composition Table.
