We are collecting sociological data in relation to the estimation of radiation dose by radionuclides released from the nuclear fuel cycle facilities in Rokkasho-mura, Aomori Prefecture. This survey on the daily food intake by infants in Aomori Prefecture over a two-year period (1995-1996) is a continuation of a previous survey on individuals (≥5 years old). We investigated 179 infants in the age group around 4 years old and 181 infants in the age group around 1 year old. They were living in families belonging to three different groups of primary occupations: fishery workers, farmers and other occupations. The average total daily food consumption of the age group around 4 years old was about 958 grams/day/person (g/d/p), which was weighted according to the number of families in each of the three types of occupations in Aomori Prefecture. There was no significant difference shown for occupation and area. The consumption rates of marine, agricultural and livestock products and other products were around 45, 388, 256 and 268g/d/p, respectively. Families of fishery workers showed a higher consumption of marine products, and families of farmers showed a higher consumption of agricultural products. The average total daily food consumption of the age group around 1 year old was about 627g/d/p. The consumption rates of marine, agricultural and livestock products and other products were around 26, 251, 201 and 150g/d/p, respectively. Compared with individuals over 5 years old, food consumption of the age group around 4 years old was about one-half, and the age group around 1 year old was about one-third. Consumption rates of marine products and agricultural products were low, and livestock products and other products were high in infants. As the age group became lower, the ratio of the quantity of dairy products became higher.

This survey on daily food intake in the northwestern part (northern Tsugaru area) of Aomori Prefecture was a continuation of a previous survey conducted in the southeastern part (Sanpachi-Kamikita area) and southwestern part (southern Tsugaru area) of the prefecture. The 50 families surveyed were divided into three different groups of primary occupations: fishery worker, farmer, and "other occupations." The average total daily food consumption of the entire survey group was about 2,389 gram/day/person (g/d/p), and showed no significant seasonal variation. The consumption rates of marine, agricultural, and livestock products were around 276, 1,275 and 360 g/d/p, respectively, and were relatively constant the year around. However, the consumption rate of other products was 478 g/d/p and was slightly higher in the summer and lower in the winter. The proportions of marine, agricultural, and livestock products in total food consumption among all families were on the average approximately 12, 53, and 15%, respectively. The highest average daily food consumption recorded was 2,510 g/d/p and occurred in fishery workers' families, followed by 2,441 and 2,008 g/d/p in farming and other workers' families, respectively. The families of fishery workers showed the highest consumption of marine products among all families. The consumption of agricultural and livestock products was remarkably high in farmers' families and low in other workers' families. The foods with the highest consumption rates in the northern Tsugaru area were: (a) squid, salmon, wakame, and cod among marine products, (b) rice, radish, apple, cucumber, tomato, and tofu (soybean curd) among agricultural products, and (c) milk, egg, and pork among livestock products. Some slight but statistically significant differences were recognized in the consumption patterns in the northern Tsugaru area in comparison with those of the Sanpachi-Kamikita area and the southern Tsugaru area.
