“…In this study mean values for cholesterol for both normal and obese groups was similar to those reported by Clarke et al (1970) for American school children and by Hill for Australian school children (personal communication) and median values reported by Godfrey et al (1972) for Western Australian school children.…”

SYNOPSIS A study was made on 129 obese children to assess the relation of fasting plasma concentrations of cholesterol and triglyceride with clinical features of obesity. Mean values for both plasma cholesterol (195 mg/dl) and triglyceride (77 mg/dl) did not differ from those found in non‐obese children. Greater than expected numbers of children however were found with raised values of either cholesterol or triglyceride. Three children were found to have familial Type II hyperlipoproteinaemia, and eighteen were found to have a fasting triglyceride of greater than 120 mg/dl. No correlation was found between plasma cholesterol values and clinical features of obesity, but significant correlation was found between plasma triglyceride values and degree and duration of obesity, particularly amongst those children whose obesity started after the first year of life.

A total of 1470 students in Berlin, Germany, aged 7-22 years, were screened for cardiovascular risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, obesity, smoking habits, and a positive family history. Only 56% had no modifiable risk factor, but 16% showed total cholesterol (TC) levels greater than 200 mg/dl. One percent had severe and 11% had borderline hypertension. Also, 21% were overweight, and 27% of the adolescents greater than or equal to 15 years admitted to smoking regularly. In this paper we concentrate on cholesterol findings of this study, i.e., the dependence of TC on sex, age, weight, and the use of oral contraceptives. There was an age dependency in both sexes. In boys the lowest TC levels were found in the 12-17-year-olds, whereas the group under 10 had the highest ones. In the age group over 17, TC was higher than in the younger groups. The age dependency of the TC levels in girls was similar, but less pronounced. The minimum level was reached earlier, namely in the group 14-15 years old, rather than in the group 16-17. TC levels of girls compared to boys were significantly higher in the 12-13 and 16-17 age groups. Girls who use oral contraceptives had significantly higher TC levels. Obesity had no influence on TC. Our results support the demand for screening for cardiovascular risk factors in children.

Boulton, T. J. C. (1977). Aztst. F'aediatr. J., 13, 271-275. A coronary risk-factor profile of 4 year olds : Blood pressure, serum lipids and skinfold thickness in normal children. Anthropometric and biochemical data from a pilot-study of 65 four-year-old children is presented. The children in the study fell into the normal range for height, weight, fatness, blood pressure, and serum lipids. Within this normal sample, positive correlations were found between heightand fatness ( P < 0.02, r 0.27), height and bone age ( P < 0.01, r 0.33), fatness and blood pressure i P < 0.001, r 046), and systolic blood pressure and height i P < 0.05, r 0.3). There was no correlation between body fatness and serum cholesterol, nor triglyceride levels.
