Abstract:
Earlier study has demonstrated the significant correlation between BMI with other cardiovascular risk factors, leisure-time, physical activity, and diet (Schroder, H. et al., 2003). In additon, obesity in young adults has also been suggested to lead to a higher risk of developing hypercholesterolemia. Acknowledging the bad effect that high cholesterol may cause, this study therefore aim to determine the association between cholesterol level and different categories of BMI.
