説明

The purpose of this survey is to examine the defecation habits and awareness of health among Americans because higher proteins and lipids and lower dietary fiber intakes may cause colon cancer.<BR>194 Americans (48 males and 146 females) living in California States and the suburbs were asked to answer a questionnaire on their defecation habits and awareness of health in 1991.<BR>More females than males considered their intakes to be “less” of meats and beverages, and “much” of vegetables and fruits according to their consciousness. This suggested that females were interested in food intake more than males.About threefourth of the subjects considered their eating habits to be sufficient to maintain their health and knew their food intake requirements.The proportion of “do not miss any regular meals” in males was higher than that in females.About one-third of males and about a half of females were answered that they thought constipation could affect their health. About a half of males and females considered to defecate when they felt the need and this suggested that their awareness of defecation tended to be rather lower. Those who defecated less than 3 times per week answered that they defecated to feel the need. Of those with regular defecation every day, the time of defecation was longer and those who had less defecation or irregular tended to be less times or irregular in males, while the opposite answers were given in females.<BR>The awareness of defecation and improvement of food habits in “Western” dietary pattern (a higher intake of red and processed meat, high-fat dairy products, sugar-containing beverages, sweets and desserts) may be one of important factors in order to decrease constipation.
