Abstract

Twenty-five female college students (average age, 20.7????1.3 years) were classified into the following three groups based on somatotype: the Standard height–Standard total body skeletal muscle percentage (S–S) group, the Standard height–High total body skeletal muscle percentage (S–H) group, and the High height–High total body skeletal muscle percentage (H–H) group. The total body skeletal muscle percentage of the S–S group was significantly lower than that of the other two groups. However, no significant difference was observed in the body mass index between the three groups. At 30 min after rice intake, a significantly higher postprandial elevation of blood glucose level was observed in the S–S group compared with that of the other two groups; this was significantly reduced by vegetable juice intake 30 min before rice intake in all the three groups, and no significant differences were observed in the postprandial elevation of blood glucose level between the three groups resulting from vegetable juice intake before rice intake. Regarding lifestyle, those in the S–S group tended to have low physical activity levels, skip breakfast, have fluctuating mealtimes, and overeat; however, no significant differences were observed between the three groups. On the contrary, significant positive correlations were observed between breakfast intake and total body skeletal muscle percentage.
