Serum Lipids and Lipoproteins in USAF Academy Cadets: Overall Summary.

Abstract

During their 4-yr attendance at the USAF Academy, levels of serum lipids, lipoproteins, uric acid, glucose, and proteins were measured in a group of cadets; body composition was estimated using a body volumeter and by anthropometric measurements; and dietary intakes were assessed from diet diaries. Mean serum cholesterol levels were average or below except at certain stressful times; mean percent body fat was slightly below the average for college males; and mean overall body weight increased 4.3 kg (9.5 lb). The average subject showed no development of obesity or undue risk of cardiovascular disease. (Author)
