Longevity and lifestyle

1. 发明日常膳食分析软件我们发明了一种软件，可以从数码相机拍摄的照片中分析日常膳食中的营养成分。当一个盘子被画在软件上的照片上时，大量的营养和能量被自动计算和总结。富含纤维的流质饮食对代谢综合征的影响我们对膳食纤维对代谢综合征的影响进行了一项随机对照研究。将25例代谢综合征患者随机分为两组（普通液体组和富含纤维液体组），每组服用6个月。终点为体重、腰围、血脂、75gOGTT等。我们正在分析结果。我们前瞻性地研究了一个由自动血压计和心电数据通信组成的家庭医疗保健系统的有益效果。使用者的血压低于非使用者。两组在BMI、血脂、葡萄糖耐量方面均无差异。通过医疗检查、食物照片和问卷调查，对岐阜县长寿地区和短寿地区的生活方式进行了横断面研究。长寿组血压、运动能力、血浆脂联素浓度、不饱和脂肪酸n-3/n-6比值均高于短寿组。

1. Invention of software for analysis of daily mealWe have invented software for analysis of nutrients in daily meal from photographs taken by a digital camera. Plenty of nutrients and energy are automatically calculated and summed up when a dish is painted over the photograph on the software.2. Effect of a fiber-rich liquid diet to metabolic syndromeWe performed a randomized control study on an effect of diet fiber on metabolic syndrome. Twenty five patients with metabolic syndrome were divided randomly into two groups (an ordinary liquid group and fiber-rich liquid group) and had taken either of the liquid for six months. Endpoints were body weight, waist circumference, serum lipids, 75gOGTT, etc. We are analyzing the results.3.Beneficial effects of a home health care systemWe have prospectively investigated beneficial effects of a home health care system which is composed by an automatic sphygmomanometer and ECG with data telecommunication. The blood pressure in the user was lower than that in the non-user. No difference between the two groups was found in BMI, serum lipids and glucose tolerance.4. Lifestyle between long-lived and short-lived areasA cross-sectional study on lifestyle between long-lived and short-lived areas in Gifu Prefecture was performed by medical checkup, photographs of the food and questionnaires. In the long-lived area, blood pressure, ability of exercise, plasma adiponectin concentrations and intake of n-3/n-6 ratio of unsaturated fatty acids were higher than the short-lived one.
