AboutAbout the lab
Supporting healthier living through lifestyle improvement
The Lifestyle Medicine Lab investigates, through clinical research, how lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, and sleep are associated with health.
Based on evidence from nutritional epidemiology, the lab develops lifestyle improvement programs that people can enjoyably incorporate into daily life, with the aim of using them in clinical settings.
The lab also examines, in clinical studies in humans, the health effects of dashi and fermented foods, which have traditionally been used in Japanese food culture.
The lab is established as an endowed department, funded by donations, within the Graduate School of Medicine.
