The current study showed that the Japanese Teaching Kitchen program used in this pilot study is feasible and may positively impact the disease risk profiles of Japanese adults with obesity, high blood pressure, and other chronic diseases associated with sub-optimal diets and lifestyles. These findings from an initial feasibility study of a teaching kitchen curriculum in Japan suggest that future studies in this area are worth pursuing to address obesity and obesity-related diseases.
