[A 5 year follow-up study on the relationship between changes in serum lipids and blood pressure, and changes in exercise habits in subjects 30 years of age].
A 5 year follow-up study was conducted to investigate the relationships between %changes in serum lipids and blood pressure and corresponding changes in exercise habits in the middle-aged. The subjects were 152 males and 169 females who received a health check-up at 30-years-old during the period between 1990-1992 and then at 35-years-old during the period between 1995-1997. The results are as follows: 1. In multiple regression analysis, % delta toriglyceroid (TG) and % delta AI(atherogenic index) ratio were associated significantly with changes in exercise habits in males (P < 0.05) and % delta high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) was associated with changes in exercise habits in females (P < 0.05). % delta TG and % delta HDLC were affected by changes in exercise habits adjusted for BMI, smoking, and drinking. But changes in TC and blood pressure were not affected by changes in exercise habits. 2. In males, % delta TG was significantly lower in those subjects who started their exercise habit than in the no exercise group and than in those within the ceased exercise group who ceased their exercise during the study period (P < 0.05). % delta AI was significantly lower in the started exercise group than in the no exercise group. Also, the continued exercise group had a significantly (P < 0.05) lower % delta AI as compared to the ceased exercise group. In females, % delta TG was significantly lower in the started exercise group than in the no exercise group (P < 0.05). % delta HDLC was higher significantly in the continued exercise group than in the ceased exercise group (P < 0.05). From the results obtained, it is recommended that the no exercise subjects should have exercise more than once time per week and those with more than 1 time per week maintain their exercise habits.
