The individual health guidance for 30 min by the public health nurse was performed in first medical checkups. Values are shown as mean ± SD. *p<0.05 and **p<0.01, compared to the corresponding first (before) visit value by paired t test. BMI, body mass index; Waist C, waist circumference; BP, blood pressure; FBG, fasting blood glucose; HCL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; Non-HDL-C, non high density lipoprotein cholesterol; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; γ-GTP, γ-glutamyl trans-peptidase.
