title: Comparison of cholesterol in habitually high and low active school-age children.
abstract: While risk-factor screening programs for coronary artery disease have been effective among adults, few programs are available for school-age children. 31 children were screened (16 active and 15 inactive) for cholesterol levels. The physically active group had a nonsignificantly lower mean which may reflect the small sample.
