Relationship Between Daily Walking-steps and Serum Lipids in Chinese Adults / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To investigate the relationship between daily walking-steps and serum lipids.Methods 120 individuals who participated in routine physical examinations of health were investigated, objective measurements included triacylglycerol (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL), and daily walking-steps were determined by pedometer.Results The daily walking-steps were correlated negatively to TG ( r=-0.351, P＜0.01), and positively to HDL ( r=0.284, P＜0.05) for male after adjustment for age.Conclusion Daily walking-steps determined by pedometer are correlated negatively to TG levels, and positively to HDL levels for male. No correlations are found between daily walking-steps and levels of TC, LDL for male. No correlations are found between daily walking-steps and serum lipids for female.
