JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn order to examine the ideal daily life pattern for females college students (n=155) and their mothers (n=155) in Nagoya and its vicinity were studied regarding their awareness of health and dietary pattern, their daily activities and food intake.
1) As for the life pattern, the percentage of students holding part-time jobs was 78% and that of mothers working outside their homes was 63%. Thus, their level of physical activities was moderate, but that of exercise was quite low both in awareness and actual activities.
2) As regards the body shape, the percentage of slender students was 22%. Their evaluation of their own shape was improper and they had an intense desire toward a more slender figure. On the other hand, the percentage of obese mothers was 37% whose evaluation of their shapeliness was comparatively proper.
3) As for health conditions, about 90% of both students and mothers had a sense of fatigue, and 47% of students occasionally had poor appetite, which was higher by 28% than mothers.
4) As regards eating habits, students had a greater inclination than mothers toward western style meals, intake of ready-to-serve dishes and eating out. Many students (42%) often skipped meals and were not satisfied with meals, the percentage being higher by 8% than that of mothers.
5) The survey showed that students had longer physical-life time and moving time than mothers while mothers had longer housework-life time and leisure time than students, showing differences between two groups (p<0.001).
6) The survey also showed that the energy intake was lower than that required for both groups, with a remarkable deficiency of calcium and iron. Students tended to show such deficiency more than mothers.View full abstractDownload PDF (1090K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe examined the changes in dietary life by analyzing the daily menus printed in “Nutrition and Cooking” and “Dietary Life” over 20 years from 1945. These menus were prepared by professionals of nutrition and food sciences based on the premises that the menus practically reflect the dietary life of the days. Following results were obtained.
1) Grains and beans were eaten as staple foods before 1950, rice dishes decreased after 1955, and wheat products increased after 1950 but not very much for bread.
2) As for the main dish, the menus consisting of staple food alone decreased after 1955, those consisting of fishes decreased and those consisting of meat increased after 1955.
3) The number of materials (560 items) for main dishes served for dinner and seasonings gradually increased over the years.
4) Changes in the use of seasonings were reflected in a slight increase of salt, decrease of traditional seasonings such as soy sauce and Miso-bean paste, and remarkable increase of oils/fats, western style seasonings, wine, ketchup, etc. and starches (wheat flour and bread crumbs).
5) As for the cooking techniques, the wet heating methods such as cooking in sauce or steaming decreased, and the dry heating methods such as roasting (by indirect heat), stir-frying and deep-frying increased remarkably after 1960. The number of seasonings used in one cooking session increased yearly.
6) During the two decades, use of Western and Chinese cooking methods began, indicating the diversifying tendency of menus.View full abstractDownload PDF (883K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study was undertaken to clarify the nutritional and physiological effects of soy milk.
Experiment I: The nutritive value of the protein and serum components as related to the protein and lipid metabolism in SD strain male rats fed soy milk (10% protein 10% lipid diet) were measured. These measurements were also conducted in the animals fed milk, egg and casein for reference. True digestibility (91.2%) and biological value (65.0%) of soy milk were lower than those of egg and milk. Serum components as related to the protein in the metabolism in the rats fed soy milk, milk or egg were similar to nutritive values of their protein in the same order. The value of serum cholesterol in rats fed soy milk was 69.4mg/dl and significantly lower than that of rats fed milk (82.8mg/dl).
Experiment II: In order to examine the effect of soy milk, prepared soy milk (PSM), milk and egg on serum cholesterol, rats were fed a hypercholesterolemic diet (2.4% nitrogen, 15% lipid, 0.5% cholesterol and 0.25% sodium cholate) for two weeks. The values of serum cholesterol were in the following order: milk (444mg/dl), soy milk (259), PSM (191) and egg (173).
These results indicated that the nutritive value of soy milk protein was lower than that of milk, but the hypocholesterolemic effect of soy milk was more than that of milk, and that the hypocholesterolemic effect of PSM was similar to that of egg.View full abstractDownload PDF (644K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe investigated the intensity of desire for slenderness and the actual state of dieting of a group of 461 high school girls (Group A) and 212 junior college girls (Group B) living in Kobe and Osaka areas. The results are summarized as follows.
1) The mean value of body weight for Group A was 1.5kg less than that of the overall high school average. In Group B, the values of average height and body weight were nearly equal to those of twenty-yearold girls in Japan. The mean value, 20.5±2.1, of body mass index (BMI) was obtained for both groups.
2) Over 60% of the respondents complained of poor physical conditions, particularly of “easy fatigability” and “stiff shoulders”.
3) 33.4% of Group A and 51.9% of Group B skipped breakfast; Group B skipping breakfast and lunch more frequently than Group A.
4) An intense desire to become slim was observed in both groups.
5) Girls with previous experience of dieting constituted 71.4% of Group A and 64.2% of Group B. It is interesting to note that even girls who were slender were dieting. Many girls in both groups were found to be employing undesirable methods of dieting.
6) It became apparent that they frequently utilized magazines to get information about dieting.
7) 24.4% of Group A and 32.4% of Group B indicated that their sense of well being and healthiness was lost as a result of dieting.
8) The girls who lost the sense of well being on account of dieting tended to skip meals, wished to become slimmer and employed undesirable methods of dieting, and many answered that their knowledge about methods of dieting was based on their own experience.View full abstractDownload PDF (926K) -
