Mineral contents in model diet samples for different age groups.

Abstract

SummaryModel diet samples of eight groups (3,16, 40, and 70 years old for both sexes), were analyzed for sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, aluminum, copper, barium, nickel and molybdenum by using inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Mineral intakes for 3 year olds were lower than those of other age groups because total food consumption was less. The intake of major elements, Na, K, P, Ca, and Mg, varied within about 20% of each other. The intake of other elements except aluminum fl uctuated within 30% or more of each other. For most of the elements studied, the mineral intakes of 40-year-old males agreed within l6% with results previously obtained by a duplicated portion study.

Ionized magnesium level in whole blood of healthy Japanese children

“…In 1986. Shiraishi et d. 15 reported that the Mg intake in Japanese adults is 270 mg/day, and this is adequate as it is almost the recommended intake level. But recently in Japan, the dietary Mg level has decreased especially in young people because of Americanized eating habits: excess intake of meats and snacks, and less intake of vegetables.…”

Simultaneous multielement analysis of diet samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry.

“…We have been studying the dietary intake for a Reference Japanese Man against the Reference Man, which were reported by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) as the selected values for Western Europeans and North Americans (1). Most of our previous data were obtained by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) (2)(3)(4)(5). Now, a newer, more powerful technique for trace elements, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrom etry (ICP-MS), is available (6).…”
