Serumkolesterol viste en svak positiv sammenheng med forsøk på å spise</p><p align="left">sunnere, men det var ingen konsistent sammenheng for gitt nivå av kroppsmasseindeks. Det var heller</p><p align="left">ingen signifikant sammenheng mellom serumkolesterol og forsøk på endring av mosjonsvaner etter</p><p align="left">justering for andre variable. Flere kvinner enn menn oppga at de har forsøkt å endre helsevaner til det</p><p align="left">bedre både når det gjelder kosthold og fysisk aktivitet. Personer som hadde forsøkt å endre spise- og/eller</p><p align="left">trimvaner, oppgav hyppigere at de ikke brukte fett på brød eller brukte lettmargarin enn de som ikke hadde</p><p align="left">gjort slike forsøk. De oppgav også i større grad at de drev hard fysisk aktivitet i fritiden. Denne undersøkelsen</p><p align="left">tyder på at overvekt er en sterkt motiverende faktor for det å forsøke å spise sunnere og trimme mer, og</p><p align="left">velge gunstigere levevaner.</p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left">Skåra BB, Graff-Iversen S.</p></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><p align="left"> </p></span></span><p align="left"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT;">Changing health habits – to improve health or to loose weight?

More</p><p align="left">women than men said they had tried to improve their habits of diet and exercise.
