Popis: In current studies of dyslipoproteinemia (DLP) development great emphasis is laid on the type of nutrition, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics, harmful habits, their formation in childhood and an attempt to influence them. However the problem of the start of stable DLP development and the role of dietary habits is yet to be solved. A random subsample of 169 school children aged 13 to 16 in the Krasnopresnensky District of Moscow was examined, among them 73 boys and 96 girls. High values of mean alimentary cholesterol, total and saturated fats and low mean amounts of consumed polyunsaturated fats were revealed. It could be inferred that the examined population was characterized by a high risk of the formation of atherogenic DLP stability. An analysis of the findings showed a considerable increase in the consumption of total and saturated fats as well as food rich in cholesterol in the group of children with stable DLP forms confirming the effect of the environmental factors including the alimentary ones, on processes of DLP formation in childhood. Further investigation of DLP in children should be conducted in the form of prospective studies otherwise design of activities in early prevention of atherogenic DLP seems impossible.
