Relationships between diet and cardiovascular disease risk factors were studied in a cohort of infants in Bogalusa, Louisiana. The 24-hour dietary recalls and cardiovascular measurements were obtained on each child at age 6 months, yearly through age 4, and again at age 7 (cardiovascular measurements only). At ages 4 and 7, children with persistently high intakes of dietary cholesterol (three or more measurements in the upper tertile) had levels of serum total cholesterol approximately 14 mg/dl higher than children whose intakes of cholesterol were not persistently high. Children in the upper tertile for dietary cholesterol had levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (15 mg/dl at age 4 and 18 mg/dl at age 7) higher than children in the lower tertile for dietary cholesterol. Children with high intakes of animal fat were 2 to 6 kg heavier (p less than 0.05) than those with lower intakes. Changes in dietary cholesterol correlated significantly with changes in serum total cholesterol (r = 0.42) and low ...
