Longevity and lifestyle

1.日常膳食分析软件的发明我们发明了一种软件，可以通过数码相机拍摄的照片分析日常膳食中的营养成分。当一道菜被画在软件上的照片上时，大量的营养和能量会自动计算和汇总。富含纤维的流质饮食对代谢综合征的影响我们进行了一项关于膳食纤维对代谢综合征影响的随机对照研究。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)，分别服用其中一种液体6个月。观察指标为体重、腰围、血脂、75gOGTT等。3.家庭保健系统的效益我们前瞻性地调查了由自动血压计和心电数据通讯组成的家庭保健系统的效益。服用者血压低于非服用者。两组在体重指数、血脂、糖耐量方面差异无统计学意义。长寿和短寿地区的生活方式通过体检、食物照片和问卷调查，对岐阜州长寿地区和短寿地区的生活方式进行了横断面研究。在长寿地区，血压、运动能力、血浆脂联素浓度和不饱和脂肪酸摄入量n-3/n-6比值均高于短寿地区。

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.
