Abstract：
This study aimed to determine the association between demographic factors, body size, and fruit and vegetable intake in the general population, focusing on individuals with both low and high skin carotenoid levels. This cross-sectional study was conducted during the 14th National Convention on the Promotion of Food and Nutrition Education (2019) in Yamanashi, Japan (a rural area) and the Open House 2019 at the National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, Health, and Nutrition in Tokyo, Japan (an urban area). Skin carotenoid measurements were conducted, and the participants were asked to fill out a self-administered questionnaire. The study population consisted of 492 Japanese individuals aged ≥16 years. The odds ratios (ORs) for low skin carotenoid levels were elevated in males, those who were overweight, and those who almost never consumed or consumed only one vegetable dish/day. Conversely, the ORs were lower in those living in Yamanashi, aged 30-39 and ≥70 years, and those who consumed fruit ≥1 time/week. For high skin carotenoid levels, the ORs were higher among those aged ≥70 years, living in Yamanashi, and those who consumed fruit ≥1 time/day or ≥5 vegetable dishes/day. Demographic factors, body size, and habitual fruit and vegetable intake may serve as indicators of skin carotenoid levels.
摘要：
本研究旨在确定人口统计学因素之间的关联，身体尺寸,一般人群的水果和蔬菜摄入量，专注于低和高皮肤类胡萝卜素水平的个体。这项横断面研究是在山梨县第14届全国促进食品和营养教育公约（2019年）期间进行的，日本（农村地区）和国家生物医学创新研究所的2019年开放日，健康,东京的营养，日本（市区）。进行皮肤类胡萝卜素测量，参与者被要求填写一份自我管理的问卷。研究人群由492名年龄≥16岁的日本人组成。低皮肤类胡萝卜素水平的优势比（ORs）在男性中升高，那些超重的人，以及那些几乎从不食用或每天只食用一盘蔬菜的人。相反，生活在山梨的人的OR较低，30-39岁，≥70岁，以及那些食用水果≥1次/周的人。对于高皮肤类胡萝卜素水平，年龄≥70岁的人群中的ORs较高，住在山梨县,以及每天食用水果≥1次或蔬菜≥5次的人。人口因素,身体尺寸,习惯性水果和蔬菜的摄入量可以作为皮肤类胡萝卜素水平的指标。
