The area is 0.62 km2 and the population is about 50, 000. Most of the residents are day manual laborers living alone at a small room, 1.7 m2, of the poor apartment house. The authors examined 41 volunteer subjects of them to clarify the nutritional status in this district. The daily intake of the nutrients was observed by the simplified method of nutrition survey, a kind of the questionnaire methods, as follows : total calorie 1, 774.4 cal, protein 52.4g, animal protein 25.4g, fat 31.5 g, iron 8.8 mg, vitamin A 940.9 I.U., vitamin B1 0.56 mg, vitamin B2 0.73 mg, vitamin C47.2 mg. Their nutritional status was the poorest in comparison with the results of other nutrition surveys in our country. Most of the subjects drunk much alcohol everyday and 38% of their caloric intake was provided by alcohol.
