After the 2nd World War, the physical growth of school children and pupils, which was severely damaged by the War, has been imporoved year by year as the food supply in our country has become better. Especially, children in Tokyo Metropolis were superior in their growth to those living in other areas.
In recent years, however, the rate of increase in their growth has become rather dull and has been surpassed by some other prefectures.
This paper is to report about their nutrient intakes which could have given influence on their growth tendency.
The results of a comparison of Tokyo children and Miyagi children revealed that the amounts and the quality of the nutrients ingested by Miyagi children have been remarkably improved during these 20 years, and consequently their physical growth has surpassed that of Tokyo children.
These facts indicate, of course, that the regional public nutrition education is very important to promote the children's growth and health.
