Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| For participants in the Genki de Masse Taiso, we will conduct a food frequency survey , and collect information on height, weight, age, sex, weight six months ago, changes in appetite over the past two weeks, and underlying health conditions, in order to determine the prevalence of undernutrition within the group based on GLIM criteria. Next, for each sex, we will divide the participants into three groups underweight, normal weight, and obese and clarify the differences in food diversity among the groups. | — |

| Of those who responded to the questionnaire, approximately 20 people (up to a maximum of 30) who do not meet the exclusion criteria (listed separately) will have their blood drawn. Afterward, they will take Ikkyo Sensai Drink for 7 days, and their blood will be drawn again on the 7th day.
