| Spanish abstract | Con el objetivo de determinar el porcentaje de niños y adolescentes supuestamente sanos que presentan cifras consideradas de riesgo o con franca hipercolesterolemia, ya sea con antecedentes familiares de la misma o sin ellos, que acuden al Laboratorio del Hospital General de Zapopan a otras determinaciones, se estudiaron 153 pacientes (84 hombres y 69 mujeres) con edades entre cinco y 18 años tomados al azar. Sus antecedentes familiares de hipercolesterolemia y/o padecimientos relacionados con ésta fueron investigados mediante cuestionario. También fueron investigados sus hábitos alimentarios, actividad física y adicciones, para tratar de determinar si estas variables tienen alguna influencia sobre las cifras de colesterol. El análisis estadístico se realizó con la prueba t de Student. Resultados: 22.87% del total de sujetos presentó cifras de colesterol por encima del valor ideal; 81.7% presentaba antecedentes familiares de hipercolesterolemia o padecimientos relacionados con ésta; 16.3% pacientes estudiados, se encontraba con valores de colesterol considerados de riesgo (≥ de 170 mg/dL y < de 200 mg/dL) con una cifra promedio de 180.44 mg/dL; 6.5 presentaron cifras francamente hipercolesterolémicas (≥ 200 mg/dL), promedio de 222.8 mg/dL. Se formó un grupo en el que se incluyó a los pacientes que tenían antecedentes familiares de hipercolesterolemia o padecimientos relacionados con ésta y otro sin antecedentes. Se encontró que 15.2% de los pacientes con antecedentes familiares y 10.7% del grupo sin estos antecedentes, presentó cifras de colesterol de riesgo. En cuanto a los niveles de colesterol mayores de 200 mg/dL considerados patológicos, se encontraron en 7.2% de los sujetos con antecedentes familiares y 3.5% de los pacientes sin antecedentes. Se registró mayor incidencia de cifras de riesgo y de hipercolesterolemia en el grupo con antecedentes familiares |
