Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Food-insecurity is a state in which food access is obstructed physically, socially, and economically. In recent years, there is increasing interest in association between food-insecurity and non-communicable diseases. We examined component, prevalence, nutritional status and comorbidity of food-insecurity in Japan. Observational studies clarified that (1) temporal factors (i.e. to be busy and late or irregular dinner time) may be one key component of food-insecurity, (2) considerable numbers of people with food-insecurity are exist in Japanese workers and university students, and (3) food-insecurity are associated with poor nutritional intake and poor mental health. This study proposed reforming temporal factors in lifestyle when promoting food environment strategy.
