title: [Effectiveness of different intervention measures in children and adolescents with hypertension and lipid metabolism disorders].
abstract: 141 children and adolescents (7-21 years, mean age 14.2 years) showed values of blood pressure, total cholesterol and triglycerides greater than or equal to 90 percentile and HDL-cholesterol values less than or equal to 10 during an examination of 639 children of parents with distinct coronary risk factors or early percentile infarction. By randomization they were subdivided into two groups. (A and B) and underwent intervention measures of different intensity. While group B got only a unique recommendation concerning the preventive measures, in group A a regular, non medicamentous individual treatment was performed. After one year a decrease of blood pressure could be proved in the two groups. A significant decrease of total and HDL cholesterol was found only in group A. While the blood pressure was most clearly reduced in 7-13-year-old children, the most distinct lipid changes were shown in 14-17-year-old adolescents. An influence on body-weight and triglycerides could not be established. Our results confirm the possibilities and also the limits of preventive measures in childhood and adolescence. Apart from the intended decrease of blood pressure and total cholesterol the simultaneous decrease of HDL-cholesterol refers to open questions in the conception of the primary prevention, particularly in children.
