Abstract
|
|
|
The body fat distribution and nutritional state of the Korean and Japanese female subjects were compared. Three-day individually weighed, dietary intakes and anthropometric measurements were determinded in 48 Korean and 60 japanese female
students,
19
to 23 yr of age, from the divisions of nutritions. The body composition estimates were measured by bioelectrical impedance-total body water(BI-TBW0 method. There were no significantly difference between the Korean and Japanese young females in
body
size
and body shape. The Korean young females had lower estimated total body fat and internal fat that calculated by BI-TBW method, but there was no great difference between the Korean and the Japanese in subcutaneous fat.
In contrast, the Korean young females are reported to have the same total energy expenditure per day as the Japanes young females and the total energy intakes and carbohydrate energy intake ratio per day were significantly higher than those of
the
Japanese young females. The difference in body fat distribution and fat distribution and energy intakes in Korean, and the role of capsaicin in red pepper are discussed as a possible determinant of the internal fat in the Korean vs the Japanese.
