| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the impact of fraction of serum fatty acids on body mass, body composition and hypertension and their relationship with food intake and gastrointestinal microbiota among the population in a town in Hokkaido, Japan. From previous studies, excessive intake of SFA and MUFA from foods increase the risk of various disease such as obesity and arteriosclerotic disease. In addition to these knowledge, this study newly revealed that the concentrations of some serum fatty acids were related to the risk of obesity and arteriosclerotic disease. Besides, the relationship between the fraction of serum fatty acids and a particular gastrointestinal bacterial species which affect host body mass and body composition was also observed. Further analysis is needed to examine these relations comprehensively
