Mean 24‐h serum cholesterol concentrations

	Offspring (n = 19)	Controls (n = 18)	P‐value
Total cholesterol (mm)	5.0 ± 0.2	5.2 ± 0.1	0.36
Men	4.9 ± 0.3	5.1 ± 0.2	0.58
Women	5.1 ± 0.2	5.3 ± 0.2	0.38
HDL‐C (mm)	1.2 ± 0.1	1.3 ± 0.1	0.63
Men	1.2 ± 0.1	1.1 ± 0.1	0.23
Women	1.3 ± 0.1	1.6 ± 0.2	0.14
Non‐HDL‐C (mm)	3.7 ± 0.2	3.9 ± 0.2	0.59
Men	3.7 ± 0.3	4.0 ± 0.2	0.41
Women	3.8 ± 0.2	3.7 ± 0.2	0.81

HDL‐C, HDL cholesterol; non‐HDL‐C, non‐HDL cholesterol.

Mean 24‐h parameters were calculated using the individual 24‐h serum cholesterol concentrations. Data are presented as means ± SEM. P‐value calculated for offspring vs. controls, Student's t‐test.
