---

High blood total cholestrol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)and triglyserides (TG), and low concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides. An experimental study was conducted comprising 62 postmenopausal women, aged 50-70 years, not on hormonal therapy, consuming a regular diet, living in East and south Jakarta, and willing to perform aerobic exercises regularly. The results of this study showed that all four lipid levels differed significantly between the control group and the intervention group, the respective mean levels ± 39.7 mg/dL vs. 171.6 ± 18.4 mg/dL, (p=0.000); for LDL-C 149.0±36.9 mg/dL vs 97.7±17.8 mg/dL., (p=0.000); for HDL-C 50.9±3.9 mg/dL vs. 71.5±6.7 mg/dL, (p=0.000); and for triglycerides 150.5±67.5 mg/dL vs 95.0±27.8 mg/dL (p=0.000). thus practitioners recommending exercise for coronary artery disease risk reduction in postmenopausal women.
