Background and Objectives: The gut microbiota is associated with human health and dietary nutrition. Various studies have been reported in this regard, but it is difficult to clearly analyze human gut microbiota as individual differences are significant. The causes of these individual differences in intestinal microflora are genetic and/or environmental. In this study, we focused on differences between identical twins in Japan to clarify the effects of nutrients consumed on the entire gut microbiome, while excluding genetic differences. Materials and Methods: We selected healthy Japanese monozygotic twins for the study and confirmed their zygosity by matching 15 short tandem repeat loci. Their fecal samples were subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses to identify and compare the fluctuations in intestinal bacteria. Results: We identified 12 genera sensitive to environmental factors, and found that Lactobacillus was relatively unaffected by environmental factors. Moreover, we identified protein, fat, and some nutrient intake that can affect 12 genera, which have been identified to be more sensitive to environmental factors. Among the 12 genera, Bacteroides had a positive correlation with retinol equivalent intake (rs = 0.38), Lachnospira had a significantly negative correlation with protein, sodium, iron, vitamin D, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 intake (rs = −0.38, −0.41, −0.39, −0.63, −0.42, −0.49, respectively), Lachnospiraceae ND3007 group had a positive correlation with fat intake (rs = 0.39), and Lachnospiraceae UCG-008 group had a negative correlation with the saturated fatty acid intake (rs = −0.45). Conclusions: Our study is the first to focus on the relationship between human gut microbiota and nutrient intake using samples from Japanese twins to exclude the effects of genetic factors. These findings will broaden our understanding of the more intuitive relationship between nutrient intake and the gut microbiota and can be a useful basis for finding useful biomarkers that contribute to human health.

This study discusses the fitness level of male students based on smoking habits , nutrient intake , physical activity and nutritional status as measured by cardiorespiratory endurance using YMCA-3 minutes step test.The design  is descriptive analytic  with cross-sectional study. The data were collected from 67 male students at SMAN 108 Jakarta. Study results showed that  58,2 % student is not fit, 41,8 % student is light smoker, 89,6 % deficiency energy intake, 80,6 % deficiency protein intake, 71,6 % deficiency vitamin B1, 56,7 % deficiency vitamin C, 52,2 % deficiency Fe intake, 73,1 % having weight physical activity and 28,4% malnutrition status. Chi-Square Test shows that fitness level of students depends on smoking habits (p=0,039), energy intake (p=0,001), vitamin B1 intake (p=0,012), and Fe intake (p=0,039). In order to increase the fitness status , it is advisable for students to organize a healthy lifestyle by quitting smoking , exercising regularly and increasing daily nutrient intake

Abstract Background Anthropometric data and dietary intake pattern are poorly known in Asian inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional status and nutrient intake of IBD patients compared with control population. Methods From February to June 2018, a total of 65 outpatients, including 33 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 32 Crohn’s disease (CD) were prospectively enrolled in Gangnam Severance Hospital. As a control group, age- and gender-matched 260 subjects were included among the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. Anthropometry and body composition data were collected by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA); meanwhile, nutrient intake was measured based on diet diary. Results Based on Asia Pacific criteria, more than half of both UC and control group were obese or overweight, on the other hands, CD was relatively low, about 1/3. Compared with the UC group, body fat index including both fat mass index (FMI) and body fat percentage (BFP) were significantly lower in the CD group. Following nutrients intake including intake of energy, carbohydrate, niacin, sodium and potassium were significantly lower in UC than the control group. Meanwhile, intake of carbohydrate, thiamine, niacin, sodium, potassium and iron was significantly lower in CD than the control group. In addition, the ratio of energy intake through protein and fat was significantly higher in the IBD than the control group. Conclusion Similar to the control group, more than half of UC patients were overweight or obesity, meanwhile, the proportion of obese patients in CD was lower than in the control group. The ratio of energy intake through protein and fat was significantly higher in IBD than in the control group. Our results may have clinical implications for risk of IBD development in terms of dietary pattern and further direction of nutritional intervention.
