Furthermore, we investigated the knowledge of proper drinking declare the target of healthy people in Japan 21.   <The Nutritional intake> (1) Expand the survey item of the nutritional intake to energy and 25 nutrients.   According to the nutrition intake per day of a nation, the lipid energy ratio had exceeded 25% of maximums of an adult proper ratio at the age of 20 to 49. Calcium and iron intake was less than the recommended allowance. It had exceeded the recommended allowance in general in the new official nutrimental announcement. But copper and vitamin B 6 intake was less than the recommended allowance (Fig.1, 2, 3).   Fig.1 nutritional intake   total male female sample 12,481 5,852 6,629 average nutritional intake     energy Kcal 1,954 2,164 1,769 protein g 73.5 79.9 67.7 within animal g 39.9 44.2 36.1 lipid g 55.3 59.5 51.6 within animal g 27.2 30.0 24.8 carbohydrate g 274.1 299.9 251.4 salt(Na×2.54/1,000) g 11.6 12.2 11.0 potassium mg 2,434 2,519 2,359 calcium mg 550 563 539 magnesium mg 262 277 250 phosphorus mg 1057 1,137 987 iron mg 8.2 8.5 7.9 zinc mg 8.5 9.4 7.8 copper mg 1.25 1.35 1.17 vitaminA(retinol equivalent) μgRE 981 1,006 959 vitaminD μg 8.4 9.0 7.9 vitaminE(α-triphenol equivalent) mgα-TE 8.5 8.9 8.2 vitaminK μg 27 271 265 vitaminB1 mg 0.89 0.95 0.84 vitaminB2 mg 1.22 1.27 1.17 niacin(equivalent) mgNE 15.1 16.7 13.7 vitaminB6 mg 1.18 1.28 1.09 vitaminB12 μg 7.7 8.5 7.0 folacin μg 313 321 306 pantothenic acid mg 5.71 6.10 536.00 vitaminC mg 106 100 111 cholesterol mg 346 372 323 dietary fiber g 14.60 14.70 14.50 within soluble g 3.50 3.50 3.40 within insoluble g 11.1 11.2 11.0   Fig.2 lipid energy ratio nutritional intake   total male female sample 12,481 5,852 6,629 lipid energy ratio % 25.2 24.5 25.8 average nutritional intake     energy g 1,838 2,060 1,642 protein g 61.1 67.1 55.7 potassium g 1,898 1,896 1,900 calcium g 621 630 613 magnesium g 256 277 238 phosphorus mg 758 763 753 iron mg 10.8 10.0 11.5 zinc mg 9.8 10.4 11.5 copper mg 1.61 1.69 1.53 vitaminA(retinol equivalent) μgRE 544 569 523 vitaminD μg 3 3 3 vitaminE(α-triphenol equivalent) mgα-TE 8.7 9.5 7.9 vitaminK μg 54 58 51 vitaminB1 mg 0.92 1.06 0.80 vitaminB2 mg 1.07 1.17 0.99 niacin(equivalent) mgNE 14.10 15.50 12.80 vitaminB6 mg 1.31 1.49 1.15 vitaminB12 μg 2.2 2.2 2.3 folacin μg 189 187 191 pantothenic acid mg 4.72 4.69 4.76 vitaminC mg 94 93 95   Fig.3 food group inatake   total male female sample 12,481 5,852 6,629 cereals 464.1 533.9 402.4 potates 63.0 65.0 61.2 suger·sweetener 7.2 7.3 7.2 beans 57.2 58.7 56.0 seeds 2.2 2.1 2.2 vegitable 279.4 286.3 273.3 within green and yellow vegitables 93.6 93.5 93.7 fruites 132.0 116.5 145.7 mushrooms 14.9 15.0 14.9 seaweeds 13.5 13.3 13.7 seafoods 94.0 104.3 84.9 meals 76.3 89.1 65.0 eggs 36.8 38.9 35.0 milks 170.1 165.1 174.5 oils 11.3 12.6 10.2 confectionary 26.7 23.2 29.8 taste beverage 509.3 582.6 444.6 seasoning·spice 83.5 91.4 76.6   <Miss a meal custom> (2) Those who miss a meal custom are the age of 20 to 29 years old mostly, male is 46.3% and female is 34.7%.   Usually , those who"miss a meal almost every day"or"?week 2 ~ 5 days miss a meal"are the age of 20 to 29 years old mostly regarded of male and female, male is 46.3% and female is 34.7% (Fig.4, 5).     <The use situation of a vitamin·mineral> (3) Those who take a vitamin·mineral are male is 17.0% and female is 23.6%.   Those who take a vitamin mineral"1 kind being taking"or"2 kinds being taking"are male is 17.0% and female is 23.6%.Those who take it every day are 60% more with male and female (Fig.6, 7).     (4) Those who think"they cannot be taken a vitamin·mineral from a meal" and those who take a vitamin·mineral are male is 20.3% and female is 29.7%.   Those who think"they cannot be taken necessary nutrition from a meal"take a vitamin and mineral more than those who think"they can be taken enough" or"they can be take almost".
