Abstract
A hyperlipemia educational meeting (referred to as an educational meeting) was held to provide guidance on exercise and nutrition to patients who were diagnosed as having hyperlipemia during mass screening and the usefulness of this meeting was assessed by comparing the body composition, measurements of physical strength, and results of hematology tests between before and after the meeting. After the meeting, the body weight and body mass index (BMI) showed a significant decrease and the presumptive maximum oxygen intake per kg of body weight tended to increase. Furthermore, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol showed a significant decrease. Based on the above results, this meeting is considered useful for controlling serum lipid levels of patients with hyperlipemia.
