ABSTRACT
Serum total, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides were measured in 1,286 males and 816 females from 5 to 18 years old in the city of Concepción. Mean total cholesterol levels were 159ñ30 and 162ñ31 mg/g in males and females respectively. The figures for HDL cholesterol were 46ñ11 and 47ñ11 mg/dl, for LDL cholesterol were 94ñ27 and 96ñ29 mg/dl and for triglycerides were 80ñ35 and 87ñ38 mg/dl. Nine percent of males and 12 percent of females had a total cholesterol over 200 mg/dl. Likewise 10 percent of males and 11 percent of females had a LDL cholesterol over 130 mg/dl. These numbers will help to plan and perform interventions in children in order to prevent cardiovascular diseases
