To evaluate the relationships between life style and risk factors to cardiovascular diseases,we surveyed the lifestyle of 206 women aged from 30 to 60 years living in urban and rural areas,and simultaneously conducted serum biochemical examinations．We analysed the correlations between biomedical variables and life styles cales （developed by ourselves）mainly by multiple regression analysis,Obtained results are as follows.
（1）In rural area,the mean value of the High Salt Intake scale was significantly higher than that of urban area,and the means were also higher on the Mcral Obligation/Personsal Relationships and Tradition/Moderation scales and lower on the Exercise scale.In urban area,the mean values of the Meat/Fats and Western Style Diet scales were significantly higher than those in rural area；means of the Culture．Motivation in Cooking,Exercise,Social Service,Extroversion and Voluntariness scales were also significantly higher.
（2）The mean values of BMI,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,uric acid and glycosylated hemoglobin（HbAlc）inrural area were significantly higher than those in urban area,while the mean value of HDL-cholesterol was significantly higher in urban area.Nevertheless,all the mean values in two areas were within normal ranges.
