Abstract

Background: Dyslipidaemia is an established risk factor for atherosclerosis, with oxidised low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol regarded as the primary pathogenic lipid particle. However, there is a paucity of longitudinal data to show the effect of lipid levels on the early natural history of subclinical atherosclerosis, which can be estimated using ultrasound measurement of the carotid artery intimamedia thickness (CIMT). We aimed to investigate the longitudinal effect of lipid levels on CIMT in children.
