![]() In our laboratory, we are investigating the topics “Calcium absorption and utilization in humans”,“Lifestyle and physical condition”and“Sports nutrition ”. Our research activities are as follows. The estimation of calcium requirements in humans by balance study or stable isotope study. In recent years, we have used single isotope (44Ca) and double isotope methods (44Ca and 42Ca). The relationship between lifestyle (dietary habits, physical activity, sleeping hours, etc.) and physical condition (body composition, especially bone mass and body fat, and serum factors related to anemia). This study is a joint research project with the Laboratory of Administrative Dietetics. Since 2005, we have participated in the Japan Dairy Association’s National Bone Mass Research Project. This project, involving the measurement of the bone mass of 100,000 individuals per year, investigates the relationship between lifestyle and bone mass. Now, we are supporting some sports teams. In this research field, our term is nutrition and physical condition and performance. ![]() Reference Iwamoto J, Takeda T, Uenishi K, Ishida H, Sato Y, Matsumoto H.
