Interaction between Mother's Eating Habits and Pre-school Children's Food IntakesToshi Haruki, Akiko Harada, Shizue Yamaguchi1993 Volume 51 Issue 6 Pages 317-327

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn view of the fact that infants' diets are managed by their mothers, we studied how mothers' diets influenced their children's food intake in an attempt to promote more favorable diets for children. We analyzed the diet of 393 children aged between four and six including 239 kindergarten children in the cities of Toyonaka and Kakogawa and 154 pre-school children attending day care centers in Kobe. The results were as follows.
1) The group of mothers with favorable eating habits and good dietary management provided adequate amounts of nutrients in their children's diets except for protein and fat which were found to be excessive.
2) All groups took inadequate amounts of rice, bread, potatoes, soybeans, green and yellow vegetables and seaweed. This trend was more obvious among mothers who showed poor eating habits and inadequate dietary management.
3) Analysis of the menus showed that more than 90% included shushoku (carbohydrate component such as rice, bread and noodles). Unsurprisingly, mothers with favorable eating habits properly combined a main dish (main protein component such as meat, fish, eggs and soybeans) and a side dish (vitamin and mineral components such as vegetables).
4) The group of mothers with favorable eating habits and good dietary patterns prepared a larger number of dishes for each meal than the group with poor patterns. This trend was most notable in breakfast.
5) In sum, mothers' eating habits determined their children's food intake.View full abstractDownload PDF (1048K) -
Analysis of Various Carbohydrates in Diabetic Patients in Terms of Glucose ToleranceMakoto Nomura, Yasuko Nakajima, Hiroshi Abe1993 Volume 51 Issue 6 Pages 329-332

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn order to develop non-protein containing energy supplying diets and foods for the protein restriction therapy for treatment of patients with diabetic nephropathy, the effects of various carbohydrates on glucose tolerance were studied.
The study was carried out in seven NIDDM patients on diet therapy (mean age: 56±5 years mean fasting plasma glucose concentrations: 114±19mg/dl). Patients were given under fasting (1) 50g glucose, (2) 50g dextrin, (3) 50g malto-oligosaccharide and (4) 50g malto-oligosaccharide dissolved in jelly in a random order in the morning. Plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin levels were measured.
The area under the curve of plasma glucose concentration was found significantly decreased when loaded with 50g malto-oligosaccharide dissolved in jelly. Although there were no significant differences, the area under the curve of plasma glucose concentration and plasma IRI tended to be smaller when loaded with malto-oligosaccharide than glucose or dextrin loading.
We already reported on efficacy of the protein restriction therapy for treating diabetic nephropathy. The present study suggests that it is important for development of non-protein containing energy supplying diets to use materials (1) which have less effects on glucose tolerance and (2) which are more suitable for long-term use. The study also suggested that selection and process of carbohydrates as food can modify molecules in carbohydrates.View full abstractDownload PDF (348K) -
Fumiko Fujisawa, Tomonori Nadamoto1993 Volume 51 Issue 6 Pages 333-339

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSodium, chloride and monosodium glutamate contents in some processed foods available in the local market were measured and the ratios of sodium originating from monosodium glutamate to total sodium were estimated. In 40 out of 89 foods analyzed, the ratio was higher than 10%. Among such foods are tsukemono (pickled vegetables), soup, furikake (mixture of powdered fish and other foodstuffs eaten with cooked rice), fish paste products and Chinese foods. The contents of monosodium glutamate in these foods showed a close correlation with the difference among the sodium values obtained by an atomic absorption spectrometer, the Mohr method and a sodium electrode meter. The measurements by these methods did not seem to be accurate enough to enable determination of monosodium glutamate contents from the measured values.View full abstractDownload PDF (678K) -
Relation to Recommended Daily ExerciseTeruyo Nishihara, Ichiko Oshita, Tatsuya Takagi, Tsutomu Nishihara1993 Volume 51 Issue 6 Pages 341-350

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe Ministry of Health and Welfare has shown “recommendable energy consumption by additional exercise (REC)” and “recommended daily exercise (RDE)” for the Japanese based on recent studies which indicate that the desirable value of the daily activity factor (x) for healthy life is about 0.5. The daily activity factor serves as the basis for calculation of the energy requirement.
In this paper, REC values are calculated as time required for various activities using the simple formula previously reported by the authors and the results are illustrated in graphs. For a person of the moderate activity level (0.43≤x≤0.47), it was possible to raise x up to 0.5 by performing RDE for 20 minutes or by taking an alternative pattern of activity (by, for example, going up and down the stairs for 5 minutes and walking for 15 minutes instead of taking an elevator or an escalator and going by car) for 20 minutes and doing gymnastic exercise for 20 minutes, for a total of 40 minutes. In the case of the lower activity level (0.32≤x≤0.42), 60 to 70 minutes (RDE for 20-30 minutes, doing something different from the habitual pattern of activity for 20 minutes and gymnastic exercise for 20 minutes) were required.View full abstractDownload PDF (988K)
