Background: The Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan do not include information on trans fatty acids. Previous studies estimating trans fatty acid intake among Japanese have limitations regarding the databases utilized and diet assessment methodologies. We developed a comprehensive database of trans fatty acid food composition, and used this database to estimate intake among a Japanese population.Methods: The database was developed using analytic values from the literature and nutrient analysis software encompassing foods in the US, as well as values estimated from recipes or nutrient compositions. We collected 16-day diet records from 225 adults aged 30 to 69 years living in 4 areas of Japan. Trans fatty acid intake was estimated based on the database and the 16-day diet records.Results: Mean total fat and trans fatty acid intake was 56.9 g/day (27.7% total energy) and 1.7 g/day (0.8% total energy), respectively, for women and 66.8 g/day (25.5% total energy) and 1.7 g/day (0.7% total energy) for men. Trans fatty acid intake accounted for greater than 1% of total energy intake, which is the maximum recommended according to the World Health Organization, in 24.4% of women and 5.7% of men, and was particularly high among women living in urban areas and those aged 30–49 years. The largest contributors to trans fatty acid intake were confectionaries in women and fats and oils in men.Conclusions: Although mean trans fatty acid intake was below the maximum recommended intake of the World Health Organization, intake among subgroups was of concern. Further public health efforts to reduce trans fatty acid intake should be encouraged.

Objective: The incidence of dementia is increasing in developed countries, and early detection and treatment are important. Considering that olfactory disorders are correlated with cognitive dysfunction, olfactory testing might be a useful screening tool for dementia. In the present study, we investigated whether a simple olfactory test could predict the short-term progression of cognitive decline using data from a longitudinal study of a community-dwelling population. Subjects and Methods: Subjects were participants of the Iwaki Health Promotion Project, a community-based program aimed at improving average life expectancy. The subjects were examined using a 4-item modified Pocket Smell Test (mPST) and the Mini-Mental State Examination( MMSE) in 2016 and 2017. The relationship between the change in MMSE scores and olfactory identification ability in 2016 was analyzed in subjects with good MMSE scores in 2016. Results: Among participants in their 60s and 70s, the olfactory-impaired group showed significantly lower MMSE scores in 2017 than those of the good-olfaction group. Conclusion: Olfactory testing may be a tool for early detection of the onset of cognitive decline in elderly people.
