Outline of Final Research Achievements

①The study by the diet model mouse suggested that although body weight and adipose tissue decreased by energy restriction, the same change were not shown in blood markers. Further studies were needed in the timing and period of diet for the healthy loss in weight.②The analysis on old women by the data based on a multicenter survey entitled "Three-generation Study of Women on Diets and Health" suggested that the associations between sleep patterns and dietary intake varies with generation.
