ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the role of serum cholesterol and triglyceride in the assessment of cardiovascular disease risk factors in children and adolescents.Design:
Case-control study.Setting:
Children’s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.Subjects:
Children from 6 years to 17 year old. 188 with simple obesity, and 431 with obesity and metabolic abnormalities. 274 age and gender-matched healthy children as controls.Methods:
Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to analyze the detection of cardiovascular disease risk factors by cholesterol and triglyceride in children and adolescents.Results:
The ranges of areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) for triglyceride and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were 0.798-0.860 and 0.667-0.749, respectively to detect cardiovascular disease risk factors. The ranges of AUC for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were 0.631- 0.718, 0.596-0.683, and 0.292-0.376, respectively.Conclusions:
Triglyceride and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are better than low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as predictors of cardiovascular disease risk factors in Chinese Han children and adolescents.
