Fruit/vegetable intake and physical activity among adults with high cholesterol.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To determine whether hypercholesterolemic adults followed healthy eating and appropriate physical activity. METHODS:Using the 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we measured ≥5 servings of fruits and vegetables/day and Healthy People 2010 recommended physical activity. RESULTS:Of 363,667 adults ≥18 years, 37.3% had hypercholesterolemia. The percentages of healthy eating and physical activity were lower among those with hypercholesterolemia than among those without (23.8% vs 27.9% for healthy eating [P< 0.001], 43.1% vs 51.7% for physical activity [P<0.001]). CONCLUSION:Hypercholesterolemic adults are less likely to practice healthy eating and to engage in physical activity than are those without hypercholesterolemia.
