Effect modification by geographic area on the association between health literacy and self-rated health
The findings indicate geographic differences in HL levels and effect modification by geographic area on the relationship between HL and self-rated health in the general Japanese population. HL was more strongly associated with self-rated health in eastern areas than in western areas. Further investigation is needed to explore the moderating effects of areal features, including the distribution of primary care physicians and social capital, when f…

The Joint Association of Daily Rest Periods and Sleep Duration with Worker Health and Productivity
A daily rest period (DRP) is a daily inter-work interval that contains sleep opportunity. This study investigates the joint association of DRP and sleep duration with worker health and productivity. A total of 13,306 Japanese daytime workers participated in this web-based cross-sectional survey. Participants reported on their DRPs and sleep duration; moreover, sleep difficulties, mental health, and presenteeism were assessed by the standardized q…

Impact of a school-based cooking programme on home cooking participation in Japan
Background: Children’s participation in cooking activities at home may have positive effects on diet quality. In Japan, schools are the primary site for food education, which includes cooking. Very few studies have assessed the impact of school-based cooking programmes on children’s participation in cooking activities at home. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the impact of the cooking programme on children’s participation in co…
Nightly fasting duration is not associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among non‐shift workers
OBJECTIVES: While several experimental studies in animals and humans have suggested the protective effect of nightly fasting duration (NFD) against cardiometabolic risk factors, few population-based studies have been conducted. This study aimed to investigate the association between NFD and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Japanese non-shift workers. METHODS: A subset of 1054 non-shift workers from the Furukawa Nutrition and Health Study were incl…

An ethnographic study exploring factors that minimize lunch waste in Tokyo elementary schools
Objective: To explore factors that minimize lunch waste in Tokyo elementary schools and to consider how such factors can be modified and applied in US schools. Design: Focused ethnographic study using interviews, observation, participant observation and document review. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Setting: Tokyo, Japan. Participants: Five school dietitians participated in the study. Data collection methods included in-depth interv…
The effects of bowl size and portion size on food intake and fullness ratings in a sample of Japanese men
Objective Portion sizes and bowl sizes may be related to food intake and perceived fullness. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of portion size and bowl size and possible interactions between these variables on food intake and fullness in a sample of Japanese men. Design Participants ate four different experimental meals across four weeks and completed questionnaires about their fullness using a visual analogue scal…
Weight gain over 3 kg is associated with worse metabolic syndrome indicators, regardless of weight gain recognition in Japanese workers
We examined the relationship between recognition of a 3-kg weight gain in 1 year with metabolic syndrome parameters and lifestyle status related to metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular disease in Japanese workers. Data were collected twice between April 2009 and March 2011, and self-reported questionnaires were completed at a follow-up by 275 workers who gained more than 3 kg in 1 year. This study showed that ~40 per cent of those who gained more…
