第134回HGPIセミナー「科学的根拠に基づいた食事のガイドラインを知るー日本人の食事摂取基準を活かすにはー」

日本医療政策機構（HGPI）では、医療政策のオピニオンリーダーやイノベーターを招き、さまざまな医療政策のテーマに関するセミナーを開催しています。

日本人の食事摂取基準（以下、食事摂取基準）は、学校給食を策定する基準の参考にされており、栄養関連の研究や医療機関で受ける栄養指導で食事の「過剰」や「不足」を評価する際の指標として活用されるなど、私たちの生活に身近なものです。

今回のHGPIセミナーでは、2025年に改定された日本人の食事摂取基準（2025年版）策定検討会の座長を務められた佐々木敏氏にご登壇いただき、日本の食事摂取基準の基本的な考え方から、歩みと現状、今後の展望等について栄養の専門家ではない方にも分かりやすくお話しいただきます。

(Webinar) The 134th HGPI Seminar “Understanding Evidence-Based Dietary Guidelines: Leveraging the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese” (May 28, 2025)
*Please note that this seminar is available in Japanese only.

Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) holds seminars with opinion leaders and innovators on a wide-range of domestic and international topics related to health policy.

The Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (hereinafter referred to as the "DRIs") serve as a familiar component of our daily lives. They are widely utilized as a reference in the formulation of school lunch programs, as well as a standard for assessing dietary “excess” or “deficiency” in nutritional research and dietary counseling provided at medical institutions.

In this HGPI Seminar, we are honored to welcome Dr. Satoshi Sasaki, who served as Chair of the Committee for the Revision of the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2025 Edition), to provide a comprehensive overview. His presentation will cover the basic concepts underpinning the DRIs, their historical development, current status, and future directions, which will be delivered in a way that is easy to understand, even for those without a background in nutrition.
