Abstract
Serial data from 507 adult participants in the Fels Longitudinal Study were used to study relationships between average annual changes in se rum cholesterol levels and annual changes in total body fat, fat-free mass, percent body fat or body mass index in men and women aged 18-45 years or 45-65 years. Average annual changes in adiposity before and a fter 45 years of age for men and women show statistically significant, strong, positive relationships with corresponding changes in choleste rol levels.
