Background: The aim of this study was to identify the association between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) according to age and gender in apparently healthy Korean children and adolescents.
Methods: A total of 6,255 subjects aged 10-19 years from the 2008-2014 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Serum non-HDL-C, LDL-C, and their association were evaluated according to age and gender.
Results: The means of the 75th percentile and 95th percentile concentrations for non-HDL-C were 117.0 mg/dL and 148.0 mg/dL in males, respectively, and 121.0 mg/dL and 151.0 mg/dL in females, respectively. The means of the 75th percentile and 95th percentile concentrations for LDL-C were 99.2 mg/dL and 125.0 mg/dL in males, respectively, .. View More»
