- Abstract: The present paper describes a nutritional survey carried out among Japanese-Brazilian subjects living in Bauru, south-eastern Brazil. Data were from a cross-sectional population-based study of 1283 first-generation Japanese-Brazilian subjects(Japan-born; 127 men and 121 women) and second-generation Japanese-Brazilian subjects (Brazil-born; 456 men and 573 women) aged 30-90 years. Anthropometric measurements and por cento body fat were measured and BMI and waist:hip ratiocalculated. Dietary assessment was performed using a validated food-frequency questionnaire. A considerable proportion of men (51 por cento) and women (47 por cento) had excess weight (BMI24.9 kg/m2). A greater waist circumference in men andwomen (age-adjusted by covariance analysis) was observed among Brazil-born participants. In general, only 10 por cento of the participants reported current practice of sports or other vigorous physical activity. Age-adjusted mean energy intakesand por cento energy from macronutrients were found to be similar across generations. The age-adjusted mean daily por cento energy intake from fat were similar across generations: among Japan-born participants, they were 31.5 (95 por cento CI30.6, 32.4) por cento for men and 32.6 (95 por cento CI 31.7, 33.5) por cento for women. The respective figures for Brazil-born subjects were 32.1 (95 por cento CI 31.6, 32.6) por cento and 33.2 (95 por cento CI 32.7, 33.5) por cento.These values are quitedifferent from the usual intakes reported in Japan during the last decades (about 25 por cento). Taking into account the traditional Japanese diet, a high energy density diet and a sedentary lifestyle may be implicated inthe high prevalence of central obesity and metabolic syndrome observed among Japanese-Brazilian subjects across gender and generations.(AU)
