Cholesterol Profile

Reducing Total Cholesterol

• Interval training was able to produce a highly significant decrease (p=0.0006) in mean total cholesterol levels across all patients in just six weeks with very little dietary change
• Additionally, those who had cholesterol levels in the highest quartile, or which were inadequately controlled by lipid-lowering medication, experienced greater reductions with changes in total cholesterol of 11% and 10% respectively (p<0.0001)

Non-HDL Cholesterol

• Non-HDL cholesterol includes all cholesterol present that is considered atherogenic (dangerous), including LDL, lipoprotein(a), intermediate-density lipoprotein, and very-low-density lipoprotein
• It is of increasing importance in risk analysis with suggestion that the non-HDL-C fraction may be a better tool for risk assessment than LDL cholesterol
• The Nu-life Programme was able to produce a highly significant (p<0.0001) reduction in this fraction from 4.02mmol/L to 3.80mmol/L in just six weeks
