A nutrition study on 649 men ranging in age from 35 to 64 years was conducted by investigating the relationship between calcium/total energy (Ca/E), potassium/total energy (K/E) and magnesium/total energy (Mg/E) ratios and food intake and the dietary habits relevant to obesity. The following results were obtained.1) The groups with higher Ca/E, K/E and Mg/E respectively showed higher intake of vegetables, legumes, fishes and seaweeds and less grains and meats than the corresponding groups with low values.2) In those with higher Ca/E, K, phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) intakes tended to show higher values. In those with higher K/E, Ca, Mg and P intakes also increased. Increase in Mg/E was accompanied by the increase tendencies of Ca, K, P, Fe, zinc and copper intakes.3) In the subjects with a greater number of dietary habits that may result in obesity, Ca/E, K/E and Mg/E decreased increasingly.4) The subjects who were indifferent to foods and who answered that they ate meals until they felt full were dominant in the groups with low Ca/E, K/E or Mg/E. Many subjects in the group with low Ca/E skipped breakfast, whereas in the groups with low K/E and Mg/E, many had late night snacks.5) The above result suggests that indices reflecting the balance of mineral intakes such as Ca, K and Mg per total energy are useful in making objective judgments on the quality of nutrient consumption.
