ABSTRACT
In the self-experiment from 27 December 1976 to 31 August 1981 the cholesterol level in the serum was not influenced by medicaments. 220 blood collections for the determination of cholesterol, uric acid and HDL-cholesterol were performed. By diet and permanent sport we succeeded in decreasing the cholesterol level from maximally 372 to 195 mg/dl. The body-weight was reduced from 84 to 68.7 kg. Cholesterol and body-weight relatively early followed the different feeding habits. HDL-cholesterol seems to be less favourable for preventive long-term observations. In contrast to the performance of the permanent sport it is very difficult to observe a definite nutritional form for a longer time. Possibly from this may be concluded to the compliance in our patients. The non-medicamentous influence on a hypercholesterolaemia may be performed by information at the level of the family doctor and in special dispensaries at district level.
