Serum Lipid Levels and Factors Affecting Atherogenic Index in Japanese Children TAKASAKI, Yuji 高崎, 裕治 total cholesterol HDL cholesterol, atherogenic index Japanese children An evaluation was made of the serum lipid levels and factors relating to atherogenicity in schoolchildren in Akita, Japan, in order to determine actual conditions and promote awareness of health. The subjects were 2878 boys and 2729 girls aged 9, 12 and IS years, who lived in cities, towns and villages in the Akita prefecture. Physical and lifestyle data including serum lipids were collected from the subjects in their schools under the direction of the prefectural board of education. Total cholesterol levels were found to be nearly equal to those currently representative for Japanese children, ethnically situated between blacks and whites in the United States of America. Atherogenic indices (AIs) were lower than those in all other countries owing to the elevated high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels observed in this study. According to data obtained from the questionnaires that were part of the study, regularly taking breakfast and exercising in sports clubs seems connected to maintaining lower atherogenicity in childhood.
