Prevention of metabolic syndrome from young generation : Development and assessment of the contents for nutrition education based on intervention studies

与其他人相比，年轻一代的晚间生活方式和不吃早餐的流行率更高。因此，改善这种生活方式的营养干预措施以及积累循证数据是必要的。在本研究中，我们调查了不同食物样本作为早餐的年轻女性的检查，发现摄取一些食物样本对胃动力、自主神经系统活动、能量消耗、体温和食欲感觉的生理影响。这些数据可能是从生理意义上证明早餐的有效性的证据。此外，为期一周的不吃早餐测试显示，不吃早餐往往会降低胃动力和饥饿感。这种类型的干预对渴望访问的学生是有用的，但访问次数逐渐减少。将需要进一步的干预研究，以包括更多具有良好可及性和激励方法的有吸引力的网络内容。

The higher prevalence of eveningness lifestyle and skipping breakfast has been shown among younger generation compared to other ones. Therefore, nutritional interventions for improving such lifestyles as well as accumulation of evidence-based data are needed. In this study, we investigated examinations using various food samples as a breakfast in young women, and found the physiological effects of ingestion of some food samples on gastric motility, autonomic nervous system activity, energy expenditure, body temperature, and appetite sensations. Those data may be evidences for the efficiency of breakfast in the light of physiological significance. Moreover, one-week period of skipping breakfast test revealed that skipping breakfast tends to decrease gastric motility and hunger sensations. Furthermore, we developed nutritional tools and a web system for supporting habitual breakfast intake for university students, and performed 8-week intervention study in 209 freshmen. This type of intervention was useful for the students, who accessed eagerly, but the number of times of access was gradually decreased. Further intervention study will be needed to include more attractive web contents with good accessibility and incentive approach.
