[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 8nbR0x6t. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The natural history of total cholesterol and lipoprotein cholesterol in offspring was studied in relation to total cholesterol levels in their parents in the Epidemiological Prevention Study of Zoetermeer (EPOZ). All residents of 5 or more years who were living in two districts in the Dutch town of Zoetermeer were invited to participate in a study on indicators for chronic diseases between 1975 and 1978. In a random sample of 483 youngsters who were 5-19 years old, yearly measurements of cardiovascular risk factors were performed during a follow-up period of 18 years (average follow-up, 13.8 years). Total and subfraction cholesterol levels in offspring during follow-up were studied by tertiles of age-adjusted total cholesterol in their parents. Total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels measured from childhood into young adulthood differed significantly between offspring whose fathers were in the highest total cholesterol tertile compared with those whose fathers were in the lowest tertile, amounting to 0.4 mmol/liter for total cholesterol and 0.5 mmol/liter for LDL cholesterol. Offspring differences by maternal tertiles amounted to 0.5 mmol/liter for total cholesterol and 0.6 mmol/liter for LDL cholesterol. (...)
