Outline of Research at the Start

20年以上にわたって追跡されている地域住民のコホート3,983人を対象として、長鎖多価不飽和脂肪酸(LC-PUFA)の摂取量・血清濃度と握力・大腿四頭筋筋力・二重放射線吸収法(DXA法)による筋量・身体機能との関連を解析し、LC-PUFAによるサルコペニア・フレイル予防の可能性を明らかにする。また、骨格筋の再生、維持に重要な分岐鎖アミノ酸、身体活動、LC-PUFA代謝関連遺伝子多型との交互作用について解析し、相乗効果の有無などを明らかにする。さらに、サルコペニア・フレイル予防のためのLC-PUFA必要量、魚や肉の必要摂取量などについても明らかにする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The relationships of polyunsaturated fatty acid intake and serum concentrations with sarcopenia and physical frailty were examined in participants aged 60 years and older who were randomly selected community residents and followed for over 20 years since 1997. Serum eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) levels and EPA intake were associated with decreased risk of sarcopenia, and serum EPA was associated with a decreased risk of prefrailty. It was shown that seafood intake lowered the risk of sarcopenia, but meat intake may raise the risk of prefrailty.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

2017年度の国民健康・栄養調査では80歳以上は男女とも約2割が低栄養傾向にある。低栄養に伴うサルコペニア、身体的フレイルへの対策の重要性が高まっており、そのためのエビデンスを示す研究の学術的・社会的必要性は高い。本研究により、食事あるいは医薬品やサプリメントとして既に利用が可能なLC-PUFA、特にEPAのサルコペニア・フレイル予防への有用性が確認され、この分野の学術的な効果だけでなく、介護予防などを通して社会への波及効果が期待される。
