As part of a Norwegian action to reduce cholesterol, we registered the names, addresses and cholesterol levels of 354 persons. In order to evaluate selected aspects of the campaign, we mailed a short questionnaire to all participants 1-2 weeks after the registration (the response rate was 94.9%). One out of five participants had a cholesterol level of 8 mmol/l or higher. Compared with the percentage in the general population, relatively few participants in the study were daily smokers. As much as 79% of the participants reported having benefited from the campaign. As a result of the campaign a majority reported being more motivated for dietary change. Participants with an education equivalent to compulsory school were most positive towards the campaign. 6% reported that, when told about their own cholesterol level, their immediate reaction, was one of fear. Those who were alarmed, and those with the highest level of cholesterol were as positive towards the campaign as those with lower levels of cholesterol. Persons with high cholesterol levels stated more often than others that they planned to change their diet.
作为挪威降低胆固醇行动的一部分，我们登记了354人的姓名、地址和胆固醇水平。为了评估该活动的某些方面，我们在登记后1至2周向所有参与者邮寄了一份简短问卷（回复率为94.9%）。五分之一的参与者胆固醇水平达到或高于8毫摩尔/升。与普通人群中的百分比相比，该研究中每日吸烟者的比例相对较低。多达79%的参与者表示从该活动中受益。由于该活动，大多数人表示更有动力改变饮食。接受过相当于义务教育的参与者对该活动最为积极。6%的人报告说，当被告知自己的胆固醇水平时，他们的第一反应是恐惧。感到担忧的人和胆固醇水平最高的人对该活动的积极程度与胆固醇水平较低的人一样。胆固醇水平高的人比其他人更常表示他们计划改变饮食。
