This project was completed on time, with the collection of data on the Japanese food environment from multiple sources. Data on prices and food availability was obtained from a private database covering food sales at supermarkets and convenience stores, while information on food consumption was obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Survey. A comprehensive set of documents covering food policy in the EU and Japan were obtained in multiple languages, and have been compiled into a multi-country review of agricultural and food policies and their relationship to food environments and obesity.The project also completed a review of obesity trends and food risks in the UK, which found a similar cohort effect in women as has been identified in men in Japan. Consistent excessive calorie consumption since 1960 was also identified in this review, showing that growth in obesity in the UK is not a consequence of recent dietary changes, but reflects long-held food culture and consumption patterns in the UK which have not occurred in a similar form in Japan.This study has concluded that the food environment in Japan is much safer and less obesogenic than that in the EU and especially in the UK, and that agricultural and food policies related to the food environment can work at a generational level to prevent obesity.

该项目按时完成，从多个来源收集了有关日本食品环境的数据。关于价格和粮食供应的数据来自一个私人数据库，该数据库涵盖超市和便利店的粮食销售情况，而关于粮食消费的信息则来自全国健康和营养调查。该项目以多种语言收集了欧盟和日本的食品政策文件，并将其汇编成多国农业和食品政策及其与食品环境和肥胖的关系的综述。该项目还完成了对英国肥胖趋势和食品风险的综述，发现在日本男性中发现了类似的队列效应。本次审查还确定了自1960年以来持续过量的卡路里消耗，表明英国肥胖率的增长并不是最近饮食变化的结果，但反映了长期以来-英国的饮食文化和消费模式在日本并没有出现类似的情况。这项研究得出的结论是，日本的食品环境比欧盟的食品环境更安全，更不容易引起肥胖，特别是在与食品环境相关的农业和食品政策可以在一代人的水平上预防肥胖。
