“…The average value of PAL was near 1.75, with 1.60 and 1.90 corresponding to the 25th percentile and the 75th percentile, respectively. The representative value of 1.75 is comparable to those values obtained in the general populations of developed countries; and other studies among Japanese adults appear to support this value [18][19][20][21] . There were no significant differences in PAL among age groups and genders 17) , although Speakman and Westerterp reported small gender differences in 528 subjects who underwent PAL measurement in Maastricht, the Netherlands 22) .…”

Physical activity surveillance at a population level is important. The National Health and Nutrition Survey of Japan has been carried out annually, and two kinds of assessments for physical activity are included in the survey: total step counts per day, measured by a pedometer, and questions on exercise habits. From peak values seen in 1998 -2000, time trends display a decline of age-adjusted mean steps per day, and the average percentage of regular exercisers has increased only in the age group of 50 years old or higher. As for standard or target values of physical activity, the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for Japanese presents standard values of physical activity levels (total energy expenditure divided by basal metabolic rate) for each gender and age group. The moderate value of physical activity level for adults is 1.75. Furthermore, the Exercise and Physical Activity Guide for Health Promotion 2006 (Exercise Guide 2006) was released based on the "Exercise and Physical Activity Reference for Health Promotion 2006" (EPAR2006). The reference values were set as 23 MET-hours/week for physical activity and 4 MET-hours/week for exercise. The former value is equivalent to 8000 to 10000 daily steps. Thus, Japan has established target values for physical activity and exercise habits, and daily steps have been investigated in the Japanese population. However, the target or standard values of physical activity are not sufficiently linked to the nationwide surveillance of actual levels of physical activity. Therefore, development of physical activity evaluation methods for Japanese is necessary.

“…Ones may argue that the finding of no correlation among the factor age, BW, %BF, FM, FFM, and BMI with the degree of discrepancy between El and TEE is caused by that subjects in this study were older men, and thus body image-related cultural pressure may have been less apparent-that attenuate with age. The finding of PAL rather than VOZ max is supporting our previous finding that VOz max seemed to have lesser direct impact on TEE [25], hence no influence on energy balance.…”

“…Ganpule et al (2007) suggested recently that the use of FAO/WHO/UNU equations overestimated BMR among Japanese when compared with measured BMR. The predictive equations used in the present study were established based on the large database obtained under strictly controlled protocol, and have been reported to be accurate for Japanese (Taguchi et al, 2001;Rafamantanantsoa et al, Yamamura et al, 2003). Therefore, the error from using predicted BMR seems to be modest.…”

Objective: To measure total energy expenditure (TEE) for normal healthy Japanese by the doubly labelled water (DLW), and to compare the physical activity level (PAL) among categories classified by the categories used in daily reference intake (DRI), Japan and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Subjects and methods: A total of 150 healthy Japanese men and women aged 20-to 59-year-old living in four districts of Japan. TEE was measured by the DLW method, and the PAL was calculated from TEE divided by basal metabolic rate. Simultaneously with TEE measurement, the PAL was assessed employing the categories used in DRI, Japan and IPAQ. Results: The average TEE and PAL were 10.7871.67 MJ/day and 1.7270.22 for males and 8.3771.30 MJ/day and 1.7270.27 for females, respectively. The subjects in the highly active categories assessed by both DRI and IPAQ showed significantly higher PAL compared with less active categories. However, PALs among light and moderate categories by DRI, and insufficient and sufficiently active by IPAQ were not significantly different. Conclusions: In developed countries, highly active subjects could be assessed by a simple questionnaire. However, the questionnaire should be improved to clarify the sedentary to moderately active subjects by assessing carefully very light to moderate physical activity.
