Abstract
Weight changes over a 3 yr period were measured in a group of about 1400 working men aged 46-52 yr and related to several biological parameters (cholesterolemia, triglyceridemia, uricemia, glycemia and blood pressure). The following were observed: slight increase in mean weight over the 3 yr period; significant correlations between weight change and changes in these biological parameters. These results are compared to those found in cross sectional studies. Their implications for public health and prevention of ischemic heart disease are discussed.
