Abstract

The determination of plasma concentrations of apolipoproteins B (apo B) among 390 children (age 2-18 years) and the study of their antecedents showed that the prevalence of family histories of ischaemic cardiovascular diseases was higher among children whose apo B reached or exceeded 1.20 g/l. A low cholesterol diet was prescribed for children whose apo B levels were equal to or higher than 1.20 g/l. Two years later 45 of them were re-examined: they showed decreased apo B levels and a significant relationship between the magnitude of the decrease and the dietetic score related to the observance of the diet.
