Participants ranged in age from 43 to 68 years and all had baseline TC levels greater than 200 mg/dl. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of baseline TC (control M : 248 mg/dl; experimental M = 251 mg/dl), blood pressure (BP), weight, predicted percent body fat, dietary fat/cholesterol, age, education, or program attendance.viii, 152 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1989.B874CholesterolCoronary heart diseaseHypertensionThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-09082012-040640/
