To assess the relationship of serum cholesterol level to anthropometric measurements and dietary intake, we measured serum cholesterol, height, weight, triceps skinfold, and 24-hour dietary intake in 80 children (mean age = 9.8 years) during April 1989. The mean serum cholesterol level was 3.95 mmol/l. In comparison with national data, weight-for-height and triceps skinfold measurements exceeded the 90th percentile in 18 (23%) and 26 (33%) of the children, respectively. Mean cholesterol and fat intakes were 114 mg/1,000 kcal and 36% of energy, respectively. In multiple stepwise regression analyses, weight-for-height measurement and saturated fatty acid intake were most predictive of serum cholesterol levels. Diets of children who consumed 30% of energy or less from fat (low-fat group) met or exceeded the Recommended Dietary Allowances except for energy and vitamin E and were higher in percentage of energy from carbohydrate, dietary fiber, magnesium, iron, and copper than were diets of children who consumed 31% of energy or more from fat (high-fat group). Children in the high-fat group ate more red/processed meats, baked desserts, and fats/oils than children in the low-fat group. Our data indicate that programs to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease in children may need to focus on maintaining ideal body weight and reducing saturated fatty acid intake.
