title: Changes in cardiovascular risk factors in diabetic children during a camping holiday.
abstract: Diabetic children in a holiday camp were divided into two groups according to physical activity. In the active group a significant elevation of HDL-cholesterol and a highly significant decrease in total/HDL-cholesterol ratio were observed. In the inactive group similar but non-significant changes occurred. No appreciable changes were observed in the serum albumin level but the fasting FFA level decreased in both groups, more markedly in the active group. Therefore, the FFA/albumin quotient and also body fat percent decreased considerably in the active group while in the inactive group there were no significant changes.
