| Summary: | Background: Health checkup data (2009-2012) from a community-based service project established by the Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Chiang Mai University, were analyzed retrospectively. We found that the prevalence of high cholesterol level was increased in the population living in Maeka Sub-district, Sanpatong, Chiang Mai.
Objective: To study the effect of health promotion program on blood lipid levels.
Methods: Ninety-four participants were randomly selected for the study. They were received two sessions of health promotion program and classified into two groups based on defined criteria, (1) complete health promotion group, (2) incomplete health promotion group. The results of blood lipid levels before and after participation in health promotion program were analyzed.

Results: Clinical chemistry studies demonstrated that total cholesterol and LDL-C mean levels were decreased. In contrast, sdLDL-C and glucose mean levels were increased in both complete and incomplete health promotion groups. HDL-C mean level was increased in the complete health promotion group. Triglyceride mean level was decreased in complete health promotion group but increased in the other group. Percentage of atherogenic ratios exhibited that both TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in the complete health promotion group were not significantly decreased compared with other at 58.8%, 68.8% and 46.2%, 48.6%, respectively. Moreover, there was no significant difference in lifestyle behavior among these groups.
Conclusion: Although mean total cholesterol and LDL-C levels were decreased in both groups after participation in the health promotion program but it was not significant. Therefore, it could not be indicated that in long-term of lifestyle modification under health promotion program would be able to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, so further study should be left to be elucidated.
