In the Caracas Longitudinal Study, the canalization of 24 girls that started follow-up at age 4, 43 at age 8, and 32 at age 12 in: height (H), weight (W), Body Mass Index (BMI), cholesterol (CHOL), triglycerides (TG) and glucose (GL), was studied using Schneiderman n Tracking Index (TI) and age to age correlations. TI presented a gradient H > W > BMI > CHOL and lower in TG and GL. TI of all variables diminished increased with age and in BMI and CHOL. Age to age correlations were significant at all ages in H, W. and BMI and higher in CHOL (p < 0.01) compared to TG and GL. The significant tracking of H, W, BMI and lipids, specially CHOL, is relevant in prevention of non-communicable chronic diseases.
