Abstract
Cholesterol and triglyceride levels in whole sera and in the major lipoprotein fractions are presented for 2,421 children and youths in Rochester, Minnesota, ranging in age from 6 to 18 years. This cross-sectional study revealed subtle changes associated with puberty and the occurrence of certain additional sex-specific changes related to age. Hyperlipoproteinemia was detected in 101 youngsters; those cases exemplified types IIa (61 cases), IIb (5 cases), III (5 cases), and IV (30 cases). One case of type V hyperlipoproteinemia was observed in a second and comparable population sample of 1,245 young persons.Entities:
