Abstract
It has been reported in animal and human studies that green tea shows a health protective characteristics. In the present study, we investigated the disease prevalence according to chronic green tea consumption in 92 subjects (mean age: 59.548.9, men: 41, women: 51) living in green tea cultivation village. The consumption of green tea and other life-style characteristics were ascertained by a questionnaire. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the period of green tea consumption (0, < 10 year, and $\geq$ 10 year). For green tea consumption groups, most of the subjects have been drinking green tea in order to protect disease and recognized the effects of green tea as detoxification of alcohol and smoking, protection of cold or release from fatigue. There were no significant differences in drinking and smoking, physical activity, and a cold prevalence among the groups. Green tea consumption was associated with lower levels of prevalence of tooth decay as well as the osteoporosis. The score of dietary habits was higher by increasing green tea consumption period (p<0.05). Consequently, chronic green tea consumption can be considerably effective in health promotion.
