In this study, for determining the influence of different life style on the serum alpha hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity (alpha HBD), we carried out surveys and laboratory studies on the relationships of the nutritional intake, physical activity, cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption of young females with their serum alpha HBD activity. There are significant positive correlation between alpha HBD and GOT, GPT, LDH, CPK, phospholipids, total cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol, and significant negative correlation between alpha HBD/LDH and GOT, GPT, and gamma GTP. There are significant positive or negative correlation between alpha HBD and systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, cardiac index, stoke volume and total periperal resistance, and significant negative correlation between alpha HBD/LDH and vital capacity in young females. The serum alpha HBD activity levels of nonsmokers was significant higher than those of smokers (p < 0.05). There are significant positive correlations between serum alpha HBD activity and beverage consumption, and between alpha HBD/LDH and protein, calcium, vitamin A, B1, B2, C, pulses, vegetables and milk in young females. The finding shows that the group of serum alpha HBD activity level of 240 or more units exhibited higher level of rate of those who exercised sometimes+usually than the other group in young females. However, the serum alpha HBD activity level did not show significant correlation with energy expenditures per day. Exercise at 50 and 70% VO2 max may produce a significant increase in their serum alpha HBD activity. There is a possibility that serum alpha HBD activity may serve as an indicator for ones health condition. It is undeniable that observation of variation of serum alpha HBD activity is highly significant in health maintenance.
