Dietary fat intake of Japanese male children and its associated factors: Results of the 1995 National Nutrition Survey in Japan

Aim: To clarify the factors associated with reported dietary fat intake by Japanese male children. Methods: This study is based on the data of a nationally representative cross-sectional study in Japan. Three hundred and seventy-seven male children (age, 6 - 11 years) whose households were sampled in the 1995 Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions of the People on Health and Welfare, and the 1995 National Nutrition Survey and whose parents were identified through record linkage between the 2 survey data sets were enrolled. Results: The final dataset in this study consisted of 377 boys with 329 of their parents. Fifty-two boys were found to be overweight (13.8%). The reported dietary fat intake was higher among the overweight boys than among the non-overweight boys. Maternal obesity was significantly associated with obesity in male children. Boys who frequently consumed foods from the “fats and lipids” group and the “meat” groups, and children from nuclear families rather than 3- generation families reported high dietary fat intake. In addition, parental fat intake was also significantly associated with fat intake of male children. Conclusions: Child and parental dietary habits along with the household status should be considered when implementing nutritional education programmes to control dietary fat intake and reduce the obesity risks of male children.

厦门市公共场所集中空调通风系统卫生状况及评价

目的调查评价厦门市公共场所集中空调通风系统污染状况,为卫生管理提供依据。方法依据《公共场所集中空调通风系统卫生规范》(卫监督发〔2006〕58号)的要求,于2009年5月～9月对厦门市四星级以上宾馆及大型公共场所共43家集中空调进行卫生检测,检测送风中可吸入颗粒物(PM10)和细菌总数、真菌总数、β-溶血性链球菌;风管内表面积尘量和积尘中细菌总数、真菌总数β-溶血性链球菌以及检测冷却塔水中的嗜肺军团菌。结果公共场所集中空调送风系统可吸入颗粒物(PM10)合格率93.55%,细菌总数合格率为90.32%,真菌总数合格率为96.77%,风管内表面积尘量合格率为98.49%,风管内细菌总数合格率为97.24%,风管内真菌合格率为94.97%,送风系统及风管内β-溶血性链球菌均未检出,冷却塔水中的嗜肺军团菌检出率为29.17%。结论公共场所集中空调通风系统存在一定程度的污染,应加强卫生管理。
