Abstract
Daily selenium (Se) intake during the past few decades in Japan was studied to obtain information toward establishing the daily selenium requirement. Three daily model menus of each year were prepared based on the daily per capita consumption of foods and nutrient intake from national surveys conducted in Japan in 1957, 1966, 1977, 1983 and 1989. The average daily intakes of Se found were 98 ± 33, 138 ± 7, 163 ± 31, 120 ± 18 and 129 ± 23 μg per capita, respectively. During this period, the decrease in Se intake from cereals was compensated by an increase in the intake from animal products: meats, eggs and dairy products. Thus, the amount of daily Se intake did not change markedly, averaging 129 ± 32 μg per capita during 1957 to 1989.
