Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have shown that ‘fish consumption’ was associated with a decreased risk of poor performance in collegiate athletes (odds ratio, 0.61). We have also shown that plant protein intake was lower among athletes with PMS-related impairment than among athletes without impairment. We have further analyzed the equol production status in athletes, and equol non-producers were shown to be significant risk factors for poor athletic performance (odds ratio, 3.34). We have also shown that ‘physical symptoms of PMS’ was associated with an increased risk of stress fractures in adolescence athletes (OR 1.66).
