20.500.12556/DiRROS-28625 Variation in child serum cholesterol and prevalence of familiar hypercholesterolemia the health oriented pedagogical project (HOPP) Early stages of atherosclerosis may develop in childhood due to hyperlipidemia. The aims are to investigate the prevalence of familiar hypercholesterolemia in 6 to 12-year-old children and to study the deviation in cholesterol measures. Anthropometric data and venous blood were collected from children participating in the Health Oriented Pedagogical Project (HOPP). Out of 18 children with TC > 6.0 mmol/L, 15 were tested genetically and none diagnosed with FH. The prevalence of TC > 6.0 mmol/L declined from 1.3% in 2015 to 0.5% in 2016. The mean TC was 4.30 mmol/L both years, which is lower than in earlier studies. Usage of a single TC measurement and a threshold of TC > 6.0 mmol/L in screening children for FH, may not be a good screening strategy. While lipid values have a good reliability across 2 measurements, there are variations in individual TC levels across 1 year. children cholesterol familiar hypercholesterolemia hyperlipidemia prevalence otroci holesterol znana hiperholesterolemija hiperlipidemija razširjenost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-03-26 13:04:19 2026-03-26 13:04:20 2026-03-28 03:51:10 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 28. 1. 2025; str. 1-8 Vol. 9 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.153.922 2333-794X 10.1177/2333794X221079558 224287235 RAZ_Fabiani_Ester_2022.pdf RAZ_Fabiani_Ester_2022.pdf 1 D0EC4F685E535F6BFFDCDCCB8257E8D6 3d5c2e3c1019eb4391b13826a3c19f7bf903523bf454531558b5e5b4a241892c 326b5171-290c-11f1-aa40-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=42529 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/2333794X221079558 1 ecb47bcf-290b-11f1-aa40-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=42528 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
