Result of a Questionnaire Survey of 61 Females on their Satisfaction with Fish, Calcium and Protein Intake

Abstract

Since the calcium intake has not reached the target amount of 600 ~ 800 mg per day in the Japanese diet, calcium intake is recommended in the daily diet. And in recent years, Japan has been promoting protein intake for the elderly to prevent sarcopenia and frailty. Japan also recommended to take EPA and DHA to maintain smooth blood vessels and memory maintenance. Therefore, as a first step to understanding the actual situation, this study conducted a questionnaire survey on the information of fish rich in EPA and DHA and the intake of Ca and protein. Sixty-one participants were given a self-anubnustered questionnaire regarding fish, calcium and protein intake. The questionnaire method is self-administered, and the questions are about age, height, weight, and desired purchase price of fish. We asked the following questions, frequency of eating fish, frequency of eating meat, frequency of eating eggs, and frequency of eating bean products.
