Description

The aim of the present study was to investigate serum total cholesterol levels that was influenced by lifestyle of junior high school student. The subjects were 223 first grade students (114 males and 109 females) of junior high school who underwent a preventive medical screening for lifestyle related diseases and who were responding to a self-completed questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of physical activity and dietary habits, and predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors (PRECEDE-PROCEED model by Green et al). The results were as follows: less physical activity correlated with, the higher serum total cholesterol levels; higher frequency of eating eggs and processed meat correlated with higher serum total cholesterol levels; stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that serum total cholesterol levels statistically increased with egg intake but decreased with vegetable intake, amount of participation in activities at school, and amount of club activity; and stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that the amount of club activity was statistically associated with enabling and reinforcing factors, and egg and vegetable intakes were statistically associated with predisposing factors.
