“…However, in the present study, the proportion of participants with prior dieting experience was higher in the overweight and obese groups than in the underweight group, which is inconsistent with the reports of previous studies. In a study of Japanese participants, many of those who had experienced dieting reported stress, and stress has been considered to be associated with the development of constipation [23] , but this may be because there was no relationship between dieting and stress among the participants in the present study.…”

“…A review of the relationship between obesity and chronic constipation reported that chronic constipation is associated with overweight and obesity [19] , although other, epidemiological studies have indicated no clear association between obesity and constipation [20][21][22] . Conversely, a cross-sectional study involving Japanese individuals suggested that previous dieting experience was associated with bowel movements [23] . However, in the present study, the proportion of participants with prior dieting experience was higher in the overweight and obese groups than in the underweight group, which is inconsistent with the reports of previous studies.…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the differences in biomarkers, lifestyles, eating habits, and interest in dieting associated with body type, specifically body mass index (BMI) category, among University students in Thailand. From 2017 to 2020, Thai university students were surveyed regarding their lifestyle and eating habits, using physical measurements and a questionnaire. A total of 207 male students and 507 female students were classified as "underweight," "average weight," "overweight," or "obese" according to their BMI: these groups were compared in terms of their differences in biomarkers, lifestyle, and eating habits. Overall, 34.8% of men and 28.4% of women were classified as overweight or obese. Students of both genders in the overweight and obese group had higher body fat percentages, basal metabolic rates, and systolic/diastolic blood pressure (all P<0.0001). Overweight and obese group students were more interested in dieting (men: P=0.0007, women: P<0.0001), and most of them reported that they had dieted in the past (P=0.222, P<0.0001). Additionally, the obese group was more likely to report eating quickly (P=0.107, P=0.014). The rate of obesity among Thai young adults was as high as that among Thai adults; continuous weight loss programs are necessary to prevent the development of lifestyle diseases.

“…In a 2013 Japanese comprehensive survey of living conditions, women aged 20 to 29 years reported that the disease or symptom inducing the highest level anxiety was constipation, at about 4% (Japanese Society of Gastroenterology, 2017). In female Japanese college students, about 35% were reported to have constipation tendency (Kishimoto & Tanaka, 2008; Yamada et al., 2009). Moreover, Fukuda and Matushima (2005) showed that the proportion of female Japanese college students with constipation tendency increased from 40% to 50% and then to 60% in 1998, 2001, and 2004, respectively.…”

Okara is a byproduct of soymilk manufacturing and a rich source of protein and dietary fiber. We investigated whether okara intake improves the habit of defecation in young Japanese women (n = 52) with self-reported constipation. Subjects were categorized into placebo and test groups, who ingested soymilk (0.1 g fiber/meal) and okara (4.1 g fiber/meal) soups, respectively, every day for breakfast, for 2 weeks. Subjects' body composition, bowel movement frequency per week, and constipation assessment scale (CAS) and brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire scores were assessed at baseline and after the intervention (Analysis 1). Further, subjects' bowel movement frequency per week and CAS scores were assessed during the 2-week follow-up (Analysis 2). There were no significant differences in age, anthropometric characteristics, nutrients intake, frequency of bowel movements per week, and total CAS scores between the placebo and test groups at baseline. After intervention, the total CAS score was significantly lower in the test group than in the placebo group. Moreover, the difference in the total CAS scores between baseline and after intervention was lower in the test group than in the placebo group, although not significant. The weekly frequency of bowel movement significantly increased for both placebo and test groups. The test group reported reduced abdominal bloating 2 weeks after the intervention, but the placebo group did not. The findings suggest that okara is effective in increasing the frequency of bowel movements and improving defecation habit in young women with self-reported constipation.
