(p=0.040), fiber intake (p=0.042), and nutritional status (p=0.027) with blood
cholesterol levels in pre-elderly and elderly people, while cholesterol intake
(p=0.051) and physical activity (p=0.051) and physical activity (p=0.051). p =
0.506) there is no relationship with blood cholesterol levels of pre-elderly and
