JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe authors conducted a survey in order to elucidate the behavior of nursery school children in respect of meals-time, duration, frequency and interval.
Two hundred children of 3 public nursery schools in Toyama Prefecture were studied in November, 1980. The record of time schedule in nursery schools and that of movement studied for every 5 minutes for a weekday were analyzed.
The results were as follows:
1) The hours children spent with their family during their awaking hours were limited to 6.5 hours. They spent 196.1±67.1 minutes watching television or playing sedantarily which was more by 2.5 hours than that spent in active behavior.
2) The distribution of hours of awakening, retiring to sleep, and starting of meals was more concentrated at nursery schools, while these hours were sparsely distributed at home. This was reflected on time interval between meals. The longest interval was 139.8±16.7 minutes which was between lunch and afternoon snack taken at nursery school, while the shortest was 55.1±33.8 minutes which was between the afternoon snack at nursery school and that at home.
3) The time spent for lunch was the longest time spent among the three meals of the day. The younger the children, the longer the hours. Similar result was observed concerning betweenmeal snacks.
4) The frequency of meals on a day was 4.8±0.8 times. The prevalent pattern for taking foods was to take breakfast, lunch, supper and the afternoon snack at nursery school; this accounted 42.5% of all the patterns studied.View full abstractDownload PDF (791K) -
A Simple Method for Estimating Basal Metabolism (BM) of PMD PatientsSaburo Usutani, Kunitaka Nishiyama, Kazuyuki Kida, Noboru Yamauchi, Ka ...1985 Volume 43 Issue 1 Pages 21-26

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSUsing the data on body weight and BMR of 90 patients with progressive muscular dystrophy under the medical care at a sanatorium, a correlation analysis was conducted between relative body weight ratio (ratio of the patients body weight to its standard value) and %BMR (ratio of the patients BMR to its standard).
A statistically significant correlation between both values was found, and the regression equation was expressed as y=-0.99x+178.1, wherein x and y are relative body weight ratio and %BMR, respectively.
The above expression enables us to estimate the basal metabolism (BM) of each patient according to the following order:
1) Calculation of relative body weight ratio.
2) Calculation of %BMR by substituting for the above expression.
3) Determination of the correction coefficient for the difference of body weight. Correction coefficient for body weight=%BMR×10-2
4) Calculation of estimated BMR (kcal/kg/day). Estimated BMR=BMR standard value by age×3)
5) Calculation of estimated BM (kcal/day).
Estimated BM=patient's body weight×4)
Variation rate between estimated BM value and actual BM value showed a normal distribution and its 84.4% was distributed within ± 15%.
As above method is useful for estimating the BM of patients with PMD, we propose above expression as a prediction formula for PMD patient's %BMR.View full abstractDownload PDF (594K) -
Effect of Low-carbohydrate and High-fat DietTomiko Yoneda, Tamako Noguchi, Yoshiko Kii, Yusuke Tsukamoto, Michihit ...1985 Volume 43 Issue 1 Pages 27-33

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSHypertriglyceridemia in patients with chronic renal failure is widely observed in relation to the development of atherosclerosis. As diet therapy for patients with chronic renal failure, a low-protein and high-carbohydrate diet is generally accepted. However, a high-carbohydrate diet and derangement of glucose metabolism should be considered as prime factor for hypertriglyceridemia, because triglyceride removal rate is reduced in patients with chronic renal failure.
In the present study, 8 patients were offered low-carbohydrate (63.9% of total energy in average) and high-carbohydrate (47.0%) diets, each for one week successively, while maintaining an isocaloric level of 1, 800 kcal. Significant reduction in serum triglyceride took place due to a decrease in dietary carbohydrate, while serum levels of cholesterol, free fatty acids and phospholipids did not change. The present study suggests that the low-carbohydrate diet prevents hypertriglyceridemia and development of atherosclerosis in patients with chronic renal failure.View full abstractDownload PDF (665K) -
Effect of Low-carbohydrate and High-polyunsaturated Fatty Acid DietTomiko Yoneda, Tamako Noguchi, Yoshiko Kii, Yusuke Tsukamoto, Michihit ...1985 Volume 43 Issue 1 Pages 35-42

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDeranged lipid metabolism in patients with chronic renal failure is characterized by hypertriglyceridemia and low plasma HDL-cholesterol concentration. These abnormalities may be one of the risk factors for developing atherosclerosis, and may shorten the life span of dialyzed patients. In the present study, we tried to discuss the effects of polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich diet on the lipid metabolism of patients with chronic renal failure. Serum triglycerides significantly decreased by ingestion of polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich diet. Atherogenic index also elevated and LCAT decreased through the polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich diet.
In conclusion the ingestion of a polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich diet can improve deranged triglyceride metabolism and atherogenic index in patients with chronic renal failure and may be effectivee for prevention of atherosclerotic vascular sequellar. However, most suitable P/S ratio in the diet has yet to be determined.View full abstractDownload PDF (694K) -
Preference for Fish and Shellfish and their IntakeTeruko Honda, Mieko Mori1985 Volume 43 Issue 1 Pages 43-52

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe Japanese have been known to ingest various quantities of fish and shellfish since old times.
Despite the recent unpopularity of fish, intake of fish and shellfish by the people living in Yamaguchi Prefecture exceeds the average intake per day by a Japanese as disclosed in the National Nutrition Survey. We therefore conducted a survey on preferences for the type of fish and cooking method and the intake.
The survey was carried out based on questionnaires and survey on meals for four times in the summer, autumn, winter and spring from July, 1980 to May, 1981. The respondents are those living in the company housing at Wagicho of Mitsui Petrochemical Industry Co., Ltd. The retrieval rate was 86.4% for summer, 91.0% for autumn, 71.3% for winter, and 70.9% for spring, respectively.
Those who profess preference for fish were 55.2% in adults and 50.4% in infants, respectively. Elementary school children who indicated that they “liked fish depending on the kind and cooking methods” were 46.1%. Prawns, shrimps, squids, flounders, mackerels, and saurels appeared on the supper table throughout the year more frequently than the other fish. Cooking methods popularly followed throughout the year were serving raw as Sashimi, shimmering in bouillon, and grilling.View full abstractDownload PDF (1074K) -
