Object To study the influence of evening primrose use combined with aerobic exercises on lipid metabolism of postmenopausal women.Method 60 postmenopausal women were divided into 3 groups:a non-intervention control group

a group only taking 3-month aerobic-exercises and a comprehensive group receiving 3-month use of evening primrose and 3-month aerobic exercises.The serum total cholesterol（TC）

triglyceride（TG）

high density lipoprotein cholesterol（HDL-C） and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL-C） were examined before and after the intervention.Results Before the intervention

differences in TC

TG

LDL-C AND HDL-C are statistically insignificant;after the intervention

TC and LDL-C of the group taking exercises and the comprehensive group are lower than that of the control group

while HDL-C higher;the TG of the comprehensive group is lower than that of the control group.The differences are statistically significant（P<0.05 or P<0.01）.Conclusion Evening primrose use combined with aerobic exercises is effective in improving lipid metabolism of postmenopausal women.
