JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe focussed our survey on measuring the images on, and the frequency of use of, 7 different kinds of convenience foods, viz. Frozen croquettes, frozen hamburger steak, retort-pouched curry stew, powdered potage, powdered bean paste (‘miso’) soup, frozen ‘shao mai’ and pouched dry noodles. Using a semantic differential method (S. D. Method), we classified the figures according to residential locality, occupation, and monthy food outlay.
The findings were as follows:
(1) The image of ‘Convenience’ was most conspicuous of all survey items, although it was accompanied by a common image of ‘rather poorly prepared’ food. As to flavors we acquired a bimodal distribution. In terms of ‘Healthful’ or ‘Unhealthful’, only pouched dry noodles presented the image of ‘Unhealthful’. General images of these convenience foods remained the same, regardless of residential locality, occupation or food outlay.
(2) These convenience foods were more widely consumed than had been presumed, more especially in rural regions than in urban regions. However, retort-pouched curry stew and powdered bean paste soup were less frequently consumed than the rest.
(3) Young men in their teens and twenties consumed more pouched dry noodles than the others surveyed.View full abstractDownload PDF (9463K) -
From the Angle of Rohrer IndexToshiko Matsudaira1979 Volume 37 Issue 4 Pages 171-180

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFrom May 1974 to February 1975, the author investigated the height and weight increases in healthy 80 boys and 46 grils aged 6 to 15 years (living in children's welfare institutions) in Osaka city and also the condition of their food intake in the four seasons. A part of the results concerning food intake and growth rate was published elsewhere. In this paper the author attempts to research into the children's growing conditions by the Rohrer Index (R.I.).
(1) There was no significant difference between the subject's R.I. and the national average as far as the same age range was concerned.
(2) Classifying the degree of fatness and thinness according to the 1972-74 national average R.I. and comparing it with those of the subjects of this research, the author recognized that, as regards the average R.I. of lower-grade and higher-grade pupils of elementary school, and junior high school pupils, both the national average and the average of the subjects fell within the normal category.
(3) The differences in growing condition between boys and girls were recognized clearly in junior high school students and partly in higher-grade pupils of elementary school but were not recognized in lower grade pupils from the standpoint of the average R.I. for the 11 months, seasons showing the maximum or minimum values, and variation of R.I. in the 11 months.
(4) Between the energy intake and Rohrer Index, a significant correlationship was recognized in lower-grade boys and higher-grade girls of elementary school.View full abstractDownload PDF (11216K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSStudies were conducted to clarify the effect of calcium on the development and toxic symptoms in rats poisoned with lead, and following experiments were carried out.
Male Sprague Dawley rats, weighing about 50g, were divided into two groups; the lead-administered group and the control group. Distilled water was given to the control group and lead solution containing 1, 500ppm of lead nitrate was administered to the lead-administered group for 3 weeks. Each group was sub-divided into four groups; normal calcium (Ca/P=1.5) and 13% albumin group; low calcium (Ca/P=0.25) and 13% albumin group; normal calcium and 4% albumin group; and low calcium and 4% albumin group.
The food efficiency of 13% albumin group was higher than that of 4% albumin group, and that of normal calcium group was higher than that of low calcium group. The amount of lead in blood of normal calcium group was lower than that of the low calcium group. Amount of lead in liver showed a same tendency. Number of red blood cells, amount of hemoglobin, and hematocrit value in the low calcium group were less than those in the normal calcium group.
From these findings, it is concluded that the intake of low calcium diet enchanced the lead poisoning.View full abstractDownload PDF (6537K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAt present there can be seen an upward tendency in food expenses with the improvement of the people's dietary life and nutrition standard, but it is often pointed out that various problems have arisen from the excess and deficiency of nutrition.
A survey of the suitability of female college students' dietary life has been made by examining the relations between nutrition and economic conditions and the yearly changes which have taken place in the last six years. The findings are summarized as follows:
1) There has not been seen so large difference in height annually, but a slight tendency of weight decrease, which is considered to have been connected with the caloric intake.
2) It can be said to be a desirable tendency that protein, animal protein, and fat have met the nutritional requirements, but inorganic elements have fallen short of them, and there has been observed a considerable deficiency of vitamins because of the loss through cooking.
3) As to food intake, rice and wheat intake has shown an annual tendency to decrease and increase respectively. There has been a tendency toward a yearly increase in meat and egg intake, but sea food and milk intake has shown a little tendency to decrease.
4) Food expenses have shown an annual tendency to increase, doubling in the six-year survey period.
Protective foods and energy-yielding foods accounted for about 50% and 23-27% respectively of the food expenses each year, and the intake of both types of foods has decreased since 1976, while food expenses have increased. Spending for other types of foods has increased in proportion to the growth of intake.
5) As to the yearly dietary contents observed from the differences in food outlays, there has been a tendency toward an increase in animal protein and fat since 1975 in proportion to an increase in food outlays, and the proportion of cereal energy has been on the decrease, while that of animal protein has been on the increase.
In addition there has been a tendency toward a decrease in rice intake and an increase in wheat, oil and fat, condiment and beverage, and livestock foodstuff intake.
The tendency was marked in 1978.View full abstractDownload PDF (11659K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSChanges in physical constitution and bodily strength, and the condition of nutritional intake were investigated with regard to housewives who had undergone physical training.
The subjects, totaling 15 and ranging in age from 24 to 48, had taken part in a physical training class from April to August 1977.
Comparisons of conditions before and after the four-month training course revealed the following:
1) Those aged from 21 to 39 who had shown a tendency toward corpulency each experienced an improvement in the condition.
2) As for bodily strength, tests showed better results in many items, proving the effectiveness of physical exercise.
3) During the training period, significantly more time was spent for physical exercise on the days of training than on the other days.
4) On the days of training, the amount of energy intake was lower than the energy consumed, indicating that physical exercise is a sure way to increase energy consumption.
Judging from the above, it can be said that steady continuance of physical training is an effective way in which housewives can build up their health.View full abstractDownload PDF (6956K) -
