[Lipid profiles of children and adolescents in Madrid].
We have studied 2,224 children and adolescents of both sexes, ranging between 2 and 18 years of age, at five schools in the city of Madrid. We determined the lipid profile: total cholesterol (T-C), cholesterol bound to high density lipoproteins (HDL-C), cholesterol bound to low density lipoproteins (LDL-C), cholesterol bound to very low density lipoproteins (VLDL-C), triglycerides (TG), apolipoprotein AI and apolipoprotein B100 (Apo A1 and Apo B100, respectively). In relationship to age and sex, in males, as age increases, there is an elevation in LDL-C and TG and a diminution in T-C, HDL-C, Apo AI and Apo B100. There are no changes in VLDL-C. In females, there is a diminution in LDL-C, TG, Apo-B100 and an increase in HDL-C, Apo AI and T-C, with the increase in T-C being found only in those older than 15 years.
