Abstract

Since Japan is a super-aged society, various problems are occurring for the elderly. The nutritional problems of the elderly are complex, and measures currently took to solve the one by focusing on malnutrition-related items. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the sourness, which can identify the spoilage of food and could be expected to reduce salt. For 16 years, we have conducted research on taste and olfaction in Yakumo town in Hokkaido, Japan, Where the population does not move much. In this report, we report on the results of the taste test using TASTDISC (Sourness) in 2019 at Yakumo Town Resident Examination, which has been ongoing since 2007. From the database, 298 participants (169 females and 129 males) were selected form data in August 2019.
