Comparison of children and coronary heart disease patients with low high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels Takao Ohtaa Keijiro Sakub Rie Nakamuraa Kyu Kyu Maung Ichiro Matsudaa <p>Low plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) in adults. In the field of pediatrics, subjects with low plasma HDL-C are often found among obese or dyslipidemic children. However, it is not clear whether low HDL-C in children should be considered a risk factor for CHD. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk for CHD in children with low HDL-C by comparing their lipid and apolipoprotein levels and physicochemical characteristics of their HDL with those of age-matched children with normal HDL-C and CHD patients with low HDL-C. Plasma lipids and apolipoproteins were measured in 206 dyslipidemic children (dyslipidemic), 65 obese children (obese), 93 CHD patients with low HDL-C (&lt;40 mg/dl) and 128 children with normal HDL-C (controls).</p> 1998-09-15 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000003134 https://meral.edu.mm/records/3134
