The incidence of colonic diverticular diseases and dietay fiber intake among the popula-tions of 5 prefectures (Aomori, Niigata, Tokyo, Hyogo and Fukuoka) in Japan were investi-gated. Data on daily food intake were obtained from the National Nutrition Survey, and the dietary fiber content in each type of food was estimated by dietary fiber analysis according to Southgate's method. The incidence of colonic diverticular disease in Aomori in 1985 was lower than those in other provinces. The daily dietary fiber intaks in Aomori, Niigata, Tokyo, Hyogo and Fukuoka in 1983 were 21.1, 17.7, 17.0, 16.2, 16.4g/day, respectively. The incidence showed a negative correlation with fiber intake, and not with protein or fat intake. These results suggest that dietary fiber is involved in the pathogenesis of colonic diverticular disease.
