Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was to examine the validity and effectiveness of a dietary survey/nutrition guidance tool that combines a food model and an IC tag. By asking subjects to select a food model that accurately mimics the real thing and comparing it with a validated dietary survey method, it was partially clarified that it is useful as a nutritional guidance and dietary survey tool. . It was also found that the use of the food model reduces the time and effort required to obtain the nutritional information required by both the investigator and the subject. On the other hand, due to the influence of the corona infection epidemic, we were unable to conduct sufficient surveys and research.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

国民の健康保持や生活習慣病予防には、食事によるエネルギーや栄養素摂取量の正確な情報とそれに基づく指導、教育が必要であるが、従来の食事調査や栄養指導ツールは労力やわかりやすさの面で改善点は多い。見た目で量や種類がわかりやすいフードモデルと、複数の情報を瞬時に入力できるICタグによる通信を結び付けたツールについて行った本研究はそういった食事調査や栄養指導時の課題を解決する一つの手段であったと考えられる。一方で、コロナ感染症の影響もあり、人での調査、研究が進まず、成果は十分とはいえなかった。
