Abstract

The differences in the concentration of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), β-lipoprotein (β-Lipo), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) between the high blood pressure group and the normal pressure group, and between the obese group and the normal weight group were investigated by measuring the atove-mentioned values in 371 children aged 3–14 in Wuhan. It was found that children with high blood pressure had higher serum β-Lipo, but lower HDL-C and HDL-C β-Lipo than those with normal blood pressure. The obese group had higher β-Lipo but lower HDL-C/ β-Lipo than the normal weight group. The method stepwise regression was used to detect the factors influencing blood pressure and HDL-C in the 371 children. The results obtained show that there exist risk factors contributing to coronary heart disease in children.
