Activities (2020.4.1 – 2021.3.31)
1.

Research on puffer fish food culture in Vietnam: We are conducting research on the safety of puffer
fish in Vietnam in order to create a new puffer fish food culture in Vietnam, where puffer fish areabundant.
2. Research on nutrition for the elderly: In Vietnam, dietary methods for people with dysphagia, use ofJapanese-style sliced meat for people who have difficulty chewing and swallowing, cautions on low-saltdiets for inpatients in Japan, and research on improvement of malnutrition in Thailand. Is being
carried out.
3. Research on the best practices for hospital nutrition during the corona pandemic: published as a
special article in an international magazine and taken up as news by the International DietitianFederation.
4. Research on the formation of food culture of soy protein meat (Vietnam, Indonesia): This is called forby the need to reduce the use of animal foods to prevent global warming. The research resulted in a
delicious cooking method with soy protein meat and its effect on obese and diabetic patients.
5. School lunch: Clarified the difficulty of including dietary fiber from vegetables in Japanese school
lunches. Although there is no school lunch in Indonesia, it has been clarified those lunches can improvechildren's eating behavior and nutritional intake, so we are working with the Ministry of Education to
propose the implementation of school lunch.
6. Study on obesity of children in Vietnam: The obesity rate of children in Vietnam is more than threetimes that of Japan. In order to investigate the cause, we made a silhouette questionnaire of body
image and used it to investigate mothers and children. Since this questionnaire was created based on
the height and weight of the actual child, it would be the first to be able to describe BMI unlike
silhouettes created by an artist. Using this silhouette, I investigated the cause of obesity and found that
there is an idea of mother that a fat child is healthier and cute.
7. Development of nutrition research software in Vietnam: We pioneered a method for easily calculatingenergy and nutrient intake from photographs of what is eaten, and clarified its reliability and its effecton diabetic patients.
8. Study on nutrition improvement in Indonesia: More than half of Indonesian housewives are obese. Itwas shown that obesity can be improved by ingesting 400 g of vegetables a day.
9. Support for nutrition education in Vietnam: Since there was no nutrition education in Vietnam, wefully supported the establishment of a dietitian program at Hanoi Medical University eight years agoand have graduated the 4th class. Currently, there are 3 doctoral students and 4 master's students at
our graduate school. Three people from other developing countries are also studying at our university.
10. This has led to the establishment of the Vietnam Dietetic Association. In the department, theestablishment of the Jumonji-Yamamoto Scholarship for students of the Department of Nutrition,
Hanoi Medical University (10 students per year)
11. Established Quest-Yamamoto Award of the Vietnamese Dietetic Association. The Quest-Yamamoto
Award was established in the Vietnamese Dietetic Association to encourage research by its members.
