Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyse relationships between change in physical activity and change in serum cholesterol and body weight in a cohort representative of the general population, and their interaction with dietary changes. When controlling for changes in diet, changes in physical activity had little impact on serum cholesterol changes. Dietary changes did not modify this relationship significantly. Physical acitivity changes were more reflected on weight changes.Keywords
