| Annotation | There have been few studies concerning the relationship between exercise habits and lipid levels of older people. This study examines this relationship, using data from 117 healthy older adults who volunteered to participate in a health promotion project. Responses to a seven-day activity recall questionnaire, percentage of body fat, age and gender were used to predict total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels. Findings reveal that only the model predicting HDL was significant, and that for active women, level of physical activity does modestly influence HDL levels. |
