title: [Dietary determinants in cholesterolemia in an adolescent group].
abstract: In view of the importance of cholesterol as a risk factor of cardiovascular disease, the present study analyzes the influence of the diet on blood cholesterol levels in a group of 156 teen-ager 14 to 18. The dietetic study pointed out the existence of diet cholesterol density higher than the recommended one of 100 mg/1000 Kcal, being the eggs, meat and the milk products the most important cholesterol food sources. No statistical correlations have been found between dietetic and blood data, though the feminine population, who has the highest cholesterolemia, has also the highest and unbalanced lipid intake when compared to men. The standing of this population seems not to be preoccupying, because the hipercholesterolemia data (all in the feminine population) are very few.
