چکیده

BACKGROUND We previously showed that low-saturated-fat dietary intervention from infancy until 5 years of age safely and effectively reduced serum cholesterol concentration. We now report how such intervention influenced serum lipids, LDL particle size, and HDL subfractions in children when they reached the age of 7 years. METHODS AND RESULTS Healthy 7-month-old infants (n=1062) were randomized to the intervention (n=540) and control (n=522) groups. Each year, two individualized counseling sessions were organized to the intervention families. Serum lipid values were measured annually. The intervention boys had 0.20 to 0.39 mmol/L lower serum cholesterol values than the control boys throughout the follow-up (always P<0.05), but the values of the intervention and control girls did not differ. The LDL particle sizes and HDL subfractions were determined in a random subgroup of 96 intervention and 101 control children at the age of 7 years. The mean particle diameter of major LDL peak was 262.6 A in the intervention boys and 258.5 A in the control boys (P=0.05), and 259.2 A in the intervention girls and 261.3 A in the control girls (P=0.30). HDL2 and HDL3 cholesterol concentrations did not differ between the intervention and control children or between the two genders. CONCLUSIONS The 7-year intervention favorably influenced not only the serum total and LDL cholesterol concentrations but also the LDL particle size in boys. LDL particle size remained unchanged in girls, as did HDL2 and HDL3 concentrations in both genders.

Endothelial function in healthy 11-year-old children after dietary intervention with onset in infancy: the Special Turku Coronary Risk Factor Intervention Project for children (STRIP).

BACKGROUND Early childhood introduction of nutritional habits aimed at atherosclerosis prevention reduces children's serum total cholesterol concentration, but its effect on vascular endothelial function is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Between 1990 and 1992, we randomized healthy 7-month-old infants (n=1062) to intervention (low-saturated-fat diet) and control (unrestricted diet) groups. At t...

Prospective, randomized, infancy-onset trial of the effects of a low-saturated-fat, low-cholesterol diet on serum lipids and lipoproteins before school age: The Special Turku Coronary Risk Factor Intervention Project (STRIP).

BACKGROUND We showed previously that repeated dietary counseling during the first 3 years of life reduces the concentration of serum nonfasting cholesterol. We have now extended the study to children 5 years of age and analyzed fasting blood samples, enabling LDL cholesterol calculations for the first time. METHODS AND RESULTS Families of 7-month-old infants (n=1062) were randomized to a cont...

Effect of repeated dietary counseling on serum lipoproteins from infancy to adulthood.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE As atherosclerosis is a lifelong process, prevention of exposure to its risk factors should start at an early age. Our aim was to study the influences of repeated low saturated fat dietary counseling on dietary intakes and lipoprotein measures from infancy to adulthood. METHODS Dietary intakes (food records) and serum lipid profile were studied annually from 7 months ...

Interactions between genetic variants and dietary lipid composition: effects on circulating LDL cholesterol in children.

BACKGROUND Elevated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is a predictor of cardiovascular disease events, and the quality of dietary fat is known to influence serum concentrations of LDL cholesterol in children. Interindividual differences in response to diet exist, but the underlying genetic factors remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify genetic variants that modif...
