Abstract:
:The associations between socioeconomic status, ethnic origin, and risk factors for CHD were studied in 2,591 white and black children from two socioeconomically dissimilar populations in the New York City area. The study subjects were selected from all fourth graders in 44 elementary schools. Blood pressure, plasma lipids, body mass index, and physical fitness were measured. In a random subsample of 353 subjects, a 24-hour dietary recall interview was performed. White children in the lower socioeconomic area had the most unfavorable risk factor profile. Differences between the groups in mean level of plasma total cholesterol primarily were associated with factors related to area of residence. Children in a lower socioeconomic environment may be considered to be candidates for especially intensive intervention strategies for the primary prevention of CHD.
