Table 19. Diagnostic Criteria for Dyslipidemia in children (elementary and junior high school students) (fasting blood samples).
Total cholesterol (TC) | ≥ 220 mg/dL |
LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) | ≥ 140 mg/dL |
Triglycerides (TG) | ≥ 140 mg/dL |
HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) | < 40 mg/dL |
TC, LDL-C, and TG are derived from the 95th percentile values and HDL-C is derived from the 5th percentile value988).
