Abstract
Serum lipids and lipoprotein-lipids were measured in 350 Danish schoolchildren, ages 7-18 yr. The children had been randomly selected and serve as an urban reference population. Only in boys did serum triglyceride and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol increase significantly with age, whereas the other lipoprotein-lipids remained almost constant during adolescence. Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol was higher and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol lower than in American children, suggesting that Danish children may be more prone to develop coronary heart disease in adult life.Keywords
