Abstract

Objective: To investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA) and serum lipid level among male taxi drivers of a city in china. Methods: A total of 360 male taxi drivers were collected by two-stage random sampling method from september to november in 2016, the questionnaires were used to survey the status of PA and serum total cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG) , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) , high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) , according to the recommended standards of the intenational consensus group on physical activity measurement (ICGPAM) , the participants were divided into 3 groups: high PA level group, moderate PA level group and low PA level group. Results: The percentages of individuals with high, moderate and low PA levels were 60.7%, 22.1%and 17.2% respectively, the levels of TG, LDL-C had a declining trend along with the PA level increase, and the level of HDL-C had a increasing trend, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with low PA group, the incidence of dyslipidemia in high PA group showed a declining trend in the indexes of TG, LDL-C, any kind of dyslipidemia and any two kinds of dyslipidemia, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.0...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
