Study on serum lipoprotein cholesterol and lipid levels of healthy children at preschool age

Abstract

The serum lipid and lipoprotein levels of 366 healthy children at preschool age are presented. The serum lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations vary with age. As compared to boys, a tending higher HDL-C and a tending lower T-C/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C respectively were noted in girls. A higher HDL-C level has also been observed in Chinese children, as compared with North American children (P < 0.01).
