ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the lipid parameters in normal Indian children.DESIGN:
Cross-sectional.SETTING:
Hospital based.METHODS:
410 children (siblings of hospitalized pediatric cases) between 3-12 years were evaluated for total plasma cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were derived from the above parameters using Fredrickson-Friedwald formula.RESULTS:
No significant difference was found between the sexes in any of the lipid parameters studied. The mean values were TC-134.5 mg/ dl, TG-91.1 mg/dl, HDL-C-34.15 mg/dl and LDL-C-80.1 mg/dl. The suggested cut off limits for these parameters were 190 mg/dl, 150 mg/dl, 20 mg/dl and 130 mg/d respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
Lipid profile norms and cut off levels to define abnormalities for Indian children were recommended. The HDL-C levels were lower than western data.
