For the variable inspection, in order to measure the body composition, the bioimpedance equipment was used, and for the physical fitness test, Senior Fitness Tes was implemented. And, in order to survey the level of lipoprotein, the subjects were taken for blood of 10 ml from the anticubital vein, and it is sent to the Green Cross Reference Lab. to analyze TC, TG, and HDL-C.
