Kagome Co., Ltd. (President: Harunobu Okutani, Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi) has analyzed the relationship between skin carotenoid levels measured by 'VegeCheck®' and metabolic syndrome indicators in a joint study with the Vietnamese medical institution Dr Binh Tele_Clinic (Representative: Dr. Vu Quoc Binh). The results confirmed that higher skin carotenoid levels are associated with fewer metabolic syndrome risk factors and better health indicator measurements. These findings suggest that measuring skin carotenoid levels with VegeCheck® is useful for health guidance in Vietnam, as it is in Japan. The research results were published in the international academic journal 'Frontiers in Nutrition' on January 22, 2026.
In this study, 278 adults visiting a medical institution in Hanoi were measured using VegeCheck® to analyze the correlation with metabolic indicators. The results showed that higher skin carotenoid levels were significantly associated with fewer metabolic risk factors, showing a significant negative correlation with weight, BMI, blood glucose, and blood triglyceride levels. This is the first study to demonstrate the link between skin carotenoid levels and metabolic risk in a Vietnamese population.
