Acta Academiae Medicinae Wuhan Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The serum lipid and lipoprotein levels of 366 healthy children at preschool age are presented. The serum lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations vary with age. As compared to boys, a tending higher HDL-C and a tending lower T-C/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C respectively were noted in girls. A higher HDL-C level has also been observed in Chinese children, as compared with North American children (P < 0.01).
