Serum cholesterol of 6-year-olds in relation to environmental factors.
Serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels of 84 6-year-old children who have ben participants in a longitudinal diet and growth study were measured. These results were than related to past and present environmental factors. There appeared to be a slight inverse relationship between childhood activity levels and the 6-year-olds' serum cholesterol levels. Serum cholesterol levels at age 6 were significantly correlated with intake of dietary cholesterol at this age. A relationship between infant feeding and serum cholesterol levels at age 6 was not substantiated.
