Abstract

This paper is the first part of a series intended to present the results of a study on the actual conditions and obstacles in working women's dietary life. The object of this paper is to show the influence of circulatory shift work and the family composition upon dietary life. The number of subjects who were telephone operators accounted 205. The results were as follows:<br>1. Those who took two meals a day amounted to about one third of all. Therefore, the nutritive intake was lower than national levels, especially in Vitamins A and B2.<br>2. In the relation between dietary life and shift work, those who did not take three meals a day varied according to the time of shift work. But the influence of shift work upon the dietary conditions extended to all those engaged in circulation of shift work.<br>3. The family composition had influence on the regularity of breakfast, therfore the rate of omission of meals, and obstacles for the improvement of dietary life. Many of them who lived alone or single women living with their family took two meals a day. But there was no remarkable difference in the nutritive intake among families of different types. These results may indicate that breakfast was not a square meal in any case.
