[Reference values of lipid metabolism in childhood (author's transl)].
Sera of 949 children were analyzed for cholesterol and triglycerides by enzymatic methods and for lipoprotein pattern by electrophoresis. For the first time all ages were examined. Two independent collectives were compared: healthy pupils and sick children without disturbances of lipid metabolism. The values of these groups showed no significant difference. In infancy cholesterol and triglycerides levels heavily depend on age, while later in childhood values change little. Highest reference values are 6.36 mmol/l (= 246 mg/dl) for cholesterol and 1.74 mmol/l (= 154 mg/dl) for triglycerides.
