Study on the serum enzyme activity and nutrient intakes. Application of canonical correlation analysis / 日本農村医学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to make clear a comprehensive relationship between two groups of serum enzyme activity and nutrient intakes. The first group of measurement include serum GOT, GPT, ALP activity and the second group of measurements include protein, fat, carbohydorate, vitamin A, B1, B2, C, animal protein, animal fat, age, and weight.<BR>These figures are taken from the epidemiological survey of Tokushima prefecture, including 252 males and 383 females, investigated from 1975 to 1980.<BR>Appling the canonical correlation analysis, we found the following results.<BR>1) In male, only two canonical correlations were statistically significant. The serum GOT and GPT activity related to body weight, further serum GOT activity was effected quality of food intakes.<BR>2) In Female, three canonical correlations were statistically significant. Both serum GOT and GPT activity related to protein intakes. High correlations were observed between serum GOT activty and vitamin B1, between serum GPT activity and vitamin C, between serum ALP activity and age.
