Lifestyle factors such as cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity are known to be associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). In this study, we analyzed the relationships between the dietary habits and the lifestyles and their serum triglyceride levels for 1628 Japanese factory workers aged between 20-59 years old. with their serum triglyceride levels. The survey of dietary habits indicated a significant relationship between serum triglyceride levels and a greasy diet (p <0.01). In the lifestyle survey, a significant relation was found between the frequency of physical exercise and the serum triglyceride levels (p <0.01). There were significant correlations between body mass index and serum triglyceride levels for 20-59 age groups, and VO2max was also found to have an effect on serum triglyceride levels. No significant relationship was found between cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, or the amount of sleep per day, and serum triglyceride levels. These results suggest that optimal nutrition and physical activity, including weight control, help to prevent CHD
