Popis:	To assess the diagnostic ramifications of the phenomenon of regression toward the mean for plasma cholesterol and triglyceride in a pediatric population group, two sequential plasma cholesterol and triglyceride measurements were made six weeks or more apart (visits 1 and 2), in children from the Cincinnati Lipid Research Clinic, Princeton school study group. In 326 children with plasma cholesterol ≥205 mg/dl (the 95th percentile) at visit 1, mean plasma cholesterol fell 10.5 mg/dl at visit 2 (P
