Serum Cholesterol and Triglyceride Distribution in 7767 School-aged Greek Children
TLDR
It could be suggested that diet changes in the Greek population, especially in children and adolescents, living in big cities is significantly influencing their total cholesterol profiles throughout the last 10 years.Abstract:
Objective To elucidate associations of age and sex with serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and to provide for the first time percentile distribution data for pediatric lipids Participants and Methods A high sample of 7767 (3980 boys, 3787 girls) fasting schoolchildren, 6 to 14 years of age, were studied in Athens, Greece Results The mean cholesterol ranged from 157 to 174 mg/dL for boys and from 158 to 172 mg/dL for girls peaking at 9 years of age for both sexes Triglyceride levels also tended to increase gradually and to peak at 11 years of age for both sexes The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were highest at 9 years of age for both sexes and the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels also tended to peak at 9 years of age for boys and at 8 years of age for girls Atherogenic indices ranged from 154 to 168 for boys and 151 to 185 for girls Conclusion According to these findings, it could be suggested that diet changes in the Greek population, especially in children and adolescents, living in big cities is significantly influencing their total cholesterol profiles throughout the last 10 yearsread more

TL;DR: Despite an increase of BP, children born as a result of IVF have no biochemical evidence of insulin resistance, including fasting glucose-to-insulin ratio and circulating adipokines, or low-grade chronic inflammation, but the long-term impact of periconceptual manipulations should be closely monitored.

TL;DR: Overall findings suggest that the best logistic regression model which explained abnormal total cholesterol levels included: obesity, stroke and heart attack familial history, feminine gender, age of 10 years old or less and overweight body image determined on inspection.

High density lipoprotein as a protective factor against coronary heart disease: The Framingham study
TL;DR: The major potent lipid risk factor was HDL cholesterol, which had an inverse association with the incidence of coronary heart disease in either men or women and these associations were equally significant even when other lipids and other standard risk factors for coronaryHeart disease were taken into consideration.

TL;DR: The inverse relation of alpha cholesterol of prevalence of coronary heart disease was independent of beta cholesterol, obesity, and other factors, and the need for further evaluation of the protective effect of the alpha lipoprotein fraction on the development of coronaryHeart disease is suggested.

TL;DR: Even though control programs which attempt to reduce coronary heart disease by preventing atherosclerosis may meet some success when applied to middle-aged persons, these programs should be directed toward individuals in the twenties and thirties for maximum benefits.
