“…The details of the subjects surveyed were described previously (Ikeda et al 1986;Nakatsuka et al 1988). But briefly, 11, 315 residents of Sendai (urban area) and 8,854 of Wakuya and Tajiri (rural area), whose ages were 40 to 79, responded to self-completion questionnaire.…”

To clarify the differences in characteristics between participants and non-participants in the screening program for stomach cancer, life-style and medical histories were compared among 20,169 subjects who lived in an urban area (Sendai) and a rural area (Wakuya and Tajiri) in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. All subjects were classified into three groups according to the frequency of participation in the screening program during the last 5 years ; i.e., frequent participating group (FPG) for 4 or 5 times, reference group (RG) for 1-3 times and non-participating group (NPG) for 0 times. Subjects in the FPG consumed more milk and green-yellow vegetable whereas those in the NPG consumed less these foods. The age-adjusted proportions of present smokers were higher in the NPG but lower in the FPG significantly. The proportions of subjects who had parental histories of all cancers and stomach cancer and past

“…In fact, nutritional surveys conducted in the vicinity of the present study regions proved that women in agricultural areas take nutrients as sufficient as their peers in urban areas (Ikeda et al 1988;Nakatsuka et al 1988b). Further studies focussed on the contributing factors other than nutrition are apparently warranted.…”

“…Through ®eld surveys in various sites, differences in food habits and major nutrient sources have been observed between people in urban areas and their counterparts in rural areas in many east Asian countries, such as Japan (eg Ikeda et al, 1988;Nakatsuka et al, 1988) and Korea , and most probably also China (Tian et al, 1995). The differences in food consumption are often associated with better nutrient intake in urban communities than in their rural counterparts (Ge et al, 1996).…”

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate possible urban ± rural differences in food intakes in Jilin province and in continental China as a whole, and to examine possible implications for nutritional status of urban and rural populations. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Communities. Subjects: In total, 499 adult women in six urban sites and four rural sites, 10 sites in total, including two sites in Jilin province. Methods: A pair of surveys were conducted in September, 1999, in the provincial capital of Changchun and a farming village in Dehui county, both in Jilin province, in northeast China. Each of 50 adult women per survey site provided a 24 h duplicate food sample and a blood sample, and had an interview on health history including anthropometry and blood pressure measurement. Nutrient intakes were estimated from the food duplicates, using national food composition tables. Results from the two sites were supplemented with data from eight sites where surveys had been conducted following the same protocol, and the pooled material were subjected to analyses for possible urban ± rural differences. Results: The Jilin participants consumed daily, on average, about 1600 kcal energy, 44 g protein, and 60 g lipid with a lipid energy ratio (ie the ratio of lipid over total nutrients in terms of energy) of 33%. When nutrient intakes were compared between the urban (ie Changchun) and rural (Dehui) groups, urban women consumed more energy, protein (especially animal protein) and lipid than rural women. Similar examination of data from six urban and four rural sites, including the present two, showed that adult women in urban areas eat more animal protein and animal fat than their counterparts in villages, and suggested that the observation on urban ± rural difference in Jilin province can be extrapolated to a nationwide scale. Conclusions: Urban ± rural differences in nutrient intakes still persist in 1999 not only in Jilin but in other provinces, typically in the terms of intakes of animal-based foods.
