Abstract

As pointed out by H. Toyokawa, there is Food Consumption Structure in daily food-intake in Japanese diet at community level. As well known the food consumption has been markedly changed during 52 years. We report here a trend of changing in the amount of food-intake in sex and age group graphically. As well as, the amount of food -intake of 5 grades of population scale, i.e., town and village, small cities, middle cities, big cities and ordinance-designated cities, were also shown in graphs. In conclusion, a correlation diagram which consists of X axis of the first factor; cereals vs. accompanying dish and Y axis of the second factor; traditional vs. modern diet is shown changed remarkably since 1973. There are difference of modern and traditional diet between resident of ordinance-designated cities and the rural resident in town and village . That is, rural dietary pattern is traditional and the dietary pattern of residents in the biggest cities is modern. Nevertheless, formerly there are apparent differences not only in graphic axis of modern vs. tra ditional but also in axis of cereals vs. accompanying dish between them. However these changes were influenced by the age distribution of the each communities.
