title: Estimation of intakes of copper, zinc, and manganese in Japanese adults using 16-day semi-weighed diet records.
abstract: Data for the intake of copper, zinc, and manganese in Japanese populations obtained by detailed diet assessment methods and the most recent version of the food composition database in Japan are scarce. Moreover, data on food sources which contribute to the intake of these nutrients in Asian countries, including Japan, are not available. Here, we estimated copper, zinc, and manganese intake and elucidated major food sources of these nutrients in a Japanese population. We collected 16-day diet records from 225 adults aged 30 to 69 years living in 4 areas of Japan. Intakes of copper, zinc, and manganese were estimated using the 16-day diet records and the latest version of the Food Composition Tables in Japan. Mean intakes of copper, zinc, and manganese were 1.2 mg/day, 8.2 mg/day, and 4.9 mg/day for women and 1.4 mg/day, 10.1 mg/day, and 5.1 mg/day for men, respectively. White rice was the largest contributor to the intake of copper, zinc, and manganese, accounting for approximately 20%-30% of the total intake of each.
