Abstract
Serum cholesterol levels were measured in seventy-three obese middle-aged male subjects with previous myocardial infarctions undergoing weight reduction over a twenty-four month period. Of this group 72 per cent reached their theoretic ideal weights during the period of study. No correlation between serum cholesterol and weight change was found in this group.Keywords
