Abstract

Much information is appearing in the literature indicating that stress may be a factor in the level of serum cholestrol. This study investigated the relationship between total serum cholesterol levels in male university students, and personality anxiety as measured by standard anxiety tests. No significant relationship existed between anxiety and cholesterol. A test between the mean cholesterol level of the low anxious group and the high anxious group indicated that no significant difference between these means existed. Using a random sample of 51 students, no significant relationship was found to exist between serum cholesterol levels and scores obtained on the IP AT Anxiety Scale.
