TY - JOUR T1 - BLood cholesterol in diabetic children AU - BOYD GL Y1 - 1929/09/01 N1 - 10.1001/archpedi.1929.01930090042005 JO - American Journal of Diseases of Children SP - 490 EP - 498 VL - 38 IS - 3 N2 - Considerable diversity of opinion exists among workers as to what constitutes the normal range of value of the blood cholesterol in children. Gordon and Cohn1 studied the plasma cholesterol in normal children of different ages. They obtained figures varying from 110 to 170 mg. per hundred cubic centimeters of plasma. Baranski2 determined the blood cholesterol in ninety-five children and found it always within the normal adult range. Goldbloom and Gottlieb3 found values for whole blood between 175 and 200 mg. per hundred cubic centimeters in a number of normal children. One worker, de Toni,4 found higher average values in children than in adults. The latter observer, however, reported higher values for calcium and sugar in the young, an observation not corroborated by other workers.My own observations would lead one to believe that the normal range of values is greater in children than in adults, owing SN - 0096-8994 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archpedi.1929.01930090042005 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archpedi.1929.01930090042005 ER -
