    In recent years studies on hemodialysis are being carried out extensively for facilitating rehabilitation of patients on maintenance hemodialysis. As to nutritional intake of minerals such as potassium, phosphate and magnesium by the patients with chronic renal failure, there are no recommended allowances and only insufficient information available although their importance is fully recognized. Many of the patients on maintenance hemodialysis are therefore undergoing perfunctory dietary therapy based on periodical biochemical test data alone. We therefore measured the mineral contents in the basal hemodialytic diets and the mineral concentration in serum of these patients in order to assess the correlation therebetween.
    The results are summarized as follows:
    1) Significant differences were found in the contents of K (p<0.05), P (p<0.05), Ca (p<0.05) and Na (p<0.01) in the diet between patients on maintenance hemodialysis and healthy control subjects. No significant difference was noted in Fe and Mg contents.
    2) Correlation coefficients between the mineral intake in patients of maintenance hemodialysis and serum concentrations of these minerals prior to hemodialysis were as follows: r=0.39 for K, r=0.81 (p<0.01) for Ca, r=0.15 for P, r=0.82 (p<0.01) for Mg, r=0.92 (p<0.001) for Fe and r=0.84 (p<0.01) for Na.

    Height, body weight, skinfold thickness and basal metabolic rate of the severely mentally and physically handicapped were measured in a colony in Ibaraki Prefecture. Measurements taken were compared with the values of 1981 National Nutrition Survey as the reference. All but one female subject were shorter in height while all the subjects were remarkably lighter in body weight than the reference. Skinfold thicknesses were less than the reference in almost all the subjects.
    Basal metabolic rates measured were compared with the standard basal metabolic rates which were used as the basis for estimating energy requirements in the recommended dietary allowances in Japan. Basal metabolic rates per day were remarkably lower than the standard in all the subjects. However, mean basal metabolic rates per kg of body weight were almost the same in male subjects and slightly higher in female subjects compared to the standard, though there were wide individual variations. These results seem to have derived from their inferior physique, particularly from their light body weight.
    Basal metabolic rates per body surface area were lower than the standard in most of the subjects. Mean values were approximately 78% and 87% for males and females of the standard values.
    Basal metabolic rate per day for each subject was compared with the standard value of the age group whose standard weight was the same as the actually measured weight of the subject. The basal metabolic rates were significantly lower than the standard.

    Authors proposed and examined a method for screening of children deemed to require nutritional guidance in the health examination of the three-year-olds.
    1) Questionnaire A was prepared to classify the problems faced by children in their dietary life into five categories, and Questionnaire B was prepared for understanding the nature of these problems.
    2) Questions of A were asked of 306 children, and they were classified into 5 groups; 5% (group A), 20% (group B), 39% (group C), 4% (group D), and 33% (group E).
    3) Both groups A and B were found to follow irregular dietary patterns while group C was found to lack in interests toward diet. Therefore, they could be given group guidance based on these problems.
    4) Group D had the most serious problem and required individual guidance.
    5) Group E showed no particular problems.
    6) It is concluded that practitioners in nutrition could rely on these questionnaires for rousing the interest of mothers in the dietary practices of their children.

    To evaluate nutritive value of dietary protein ingested by the Japanese during the last decade (1973-1982), daily intake of amino acids and value of amino acid score were calculated based on the data of the National Nutrition Survey, Japan. In addition, amino acid intake from individual food groups was calculated from 1982 data alone.
    The results are shown as follows:
    1) Mean dietary intake of amino acids per person between 1973 and 1982 ranged from 77.4 to 79.8g/day, indicating only a small difference. Since the ratio of essential amino acids to total amino acids (EA%) ranged between 42.5 and 42.7%, nutritive value of the dietary protein was found to be satisfactorily high.
    2) The values of amino acid score of the dietary protein ranged from 98 to 100 during the last decade (1973-1982), indicating also satisfactorily high nutritive value of the protein on the basis of chemical score.
    3) The ratio of animal protein to total protein was 50.9% in 1982. As for the amino acid intake individual food groups, several kinds of amino acids were found to be ingested from plant foods, especially cereals, rather than animal foods.
