Outline of Final Research Achievements

Field surveys were conducted in 2017, 2018, and 2019. In 2017, we collected information on what, where and with whom do the survey participants ate meals. The results suggested that they frequently eat alone. In 2018, interviews were conducted again, and we found that their frequent lone meals might be related to their perception of family, which is different from Japanese common one. Also, the judgement whether a food item is healthy or not was found to be different by age; younger ones’ are affected by school education and media more strongly while older adults’ are based more strongly on their own experience. In 2019, we obtained previous records of child anthropometric measurement. The growth curve of the population tend to get off and go below the WHO’s growth curve around the point of weaning.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

世帯内二重負荷のメカニズムを理解することは、より効果的な予防、介入計画の立案につながる。栄養転換との関連の分析は、今後当該地域においてどのような栄養問題が課題となるのかの予測に役立つ。本研究は令和2（2020）年度以降、基盤研究（C）として発展的に継続される。ベースライン調査以後のフォローアップ調査により、世帯内二重負荷のメカニズムのより深い理解につなげる。
また、これまでの調査で明らかとなった家族観や健康観と食行動の関連、成長曲線の特徴などは個人や世帯を対象とした栄養指導の改善に役立てられる。
