“…Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, no research has yet been conducted on the relationship between dietary intake and gut microbiota in young Japanese women. These women have low protein and dietary fi ber intake and show diversity in their dietary intake with four main patterns previously identifi ed (21). Recent reports have shown a correlation between dietary patterns and constipation (22), so the gut microbiota of young Japanese women could be associated with dietary intake.…”

Summary Recent studies have shown that dietary content affects the health of the host by changing the gut microbiota. However, little is known about the association of microbiota composition with habitual diet in Japanese people. Here, we aimed to clarify the relationship between the fecal microbiota and habitual dietary intake of micronutrients, macronutrients and food groups in healthy young Japanese women. Analysis of fecal microbiota was performed by the terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) method, and a dietary survey was conducted over three consecutive days using a weighed food record method. T-RFLP pattern analysis divided the subjects into two clusters, where cluster A group had a high relative abundance of Bacteroides and Clostridium cluster IV, and cluster B group had a high relative abundance of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillales. Cluster A group also had lower intakes of iron and vitamin K and higher intakes of mushrooms and snacks than cluster B group. Analysis of Spearman rank correlations found several significant relationships between fecal microbiota and intake of nutrients and food groups. Bifidobacterium was correlated with iron intake, and Clostridium cluster XI was negatively correlated with intakes of cholesterol and eggs. These results suggest that dietary habits may strongly affect Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides and Clostridium abundance in the gut microbiota of young Japanese women. This is the first study to show relationships between fecal microbiota and habitual dietary intake in Japanese people. Accumulation of results from similar studies will help to elucidate the relationships between dietary intake and diseases in Japanese people.

“…The estimated average requirement (EAR) of folate has been set as 400 mg/d (1). However, the EAR of folate for pregnant Japanese women is likely to be higher than the real requirement because nutrient intake surveys (2,3) have reported that the intake of folate of pregnant women was approximately 250 mg/d, which is considerably less than the EAR of 400 mg/d. However, there are no reports on deficiency of folate in Japan.…”

Summary Most Japanese pregnant women do not take the estimated average requirement (EAR) of folate for pregnant women, which is 400 mg/d. Nevertheless, folate deficiencies have not been reported. We examined biomarkers for evaluating the status of folate in pregnant Japanese women. Apparently healthy pregnant Japanese women were cross-sectionally recruited from a private obstetric hospital. We measured nutritional biomarkers of folate in these women, as well as their folate intake. The numbers of subjects were 230 (49, 62, and 81, and 38 in the first (up to 15 wk), second (16-30 wk), and third (over 31 wk) trimesters of pregnancy, and 1 mo after delivery, respectively). Folate intakes (medians) in the first, second, and third trimesters, and 1 mo after delivery were 2356147 (194), 226683 (218), and 256685 (254), and 3006105 (305) mg/d, respectively. Folate concentrations in plasma and erythrocytes appeared to be valid indicators for assessing folate status, with cutoff values of 7 nmol/L and 300 nmol/L, respectively. Plasma folate concentrations (medians) in the first, second, and third trimesters, and 1 mo after delivery were 17.669.6 (16.7), 12.468.3 (9.4), and 12.168.4 (9.4), and 10.768.9 (7.9) nmol/L, respectively. Each of the folate values was over the cut-off value. Erythrocyte folate concentrations (medians) in the first, second, and third trimesters, and 1 mo after delivery were 3586108 (365), 3896154 (365), and 3256150 (315), and 3086158 (276) nmol/L, respectively. Each of the folate values was near or over the cut-off value. In conclusion, the data obtained demonstrated that the estimated average requirement of folate for pregnant Japanese women was 250 mg/d.

“…[37][38][39] Cluster analyses have been used by public health researchers and practitioners to inform interventions related to behaviors such as exercise, diet, and social involvement. [40][41][42] However, to our knowledge, these techniques have not been recently used to segment college populations according to current risk behaviors related to substance use.…”

Objective-Segmentation of populations may facilitate development of targeted substance abuse prevention programs. We aimed to partition a national sample of university students according to profiles based on substance use. Method-We partitioned the sample using cluster analysis according to current substance use behaviors. We examined the association of cluster membership with individual and institutional characteristics. Participants-WeResults-Cluster analysis yielded six distinct clusters. Three individual factors-gender, year in school, and fraternity/sorority membership-were the most strongly associated with cluster membership.Conclusions-In a large sample of university students, we were able to identify six distinct patterns of substance abuse. It may be valuable to target specific populations of college-aged substance users based on individual factors. However, comprehensive intervention will require a multifaceted approach.
