| Research Abstract |
I measured serum zinc level and zinc intake in aging local subjects. I was apprehensive that they were low zinc nutritional status from the results. The factor strongly correlated with zinc intake was the number of food items per a meal. Then, the population approach using the number of food items performed. As a result, it found that zinc status was improvable by the appropriate number of food items being shown, preventing obesity and metabolic syndrome. It found that the population approach using the number of food items was easier to be understood by residents, and it was suggested that it is effective self monitoring.
