Effect of Dietary Cholesterol upon Serum Lipids in Rural Guatemalan Indian Children

JOSÉ MÉNDEZ PH.D.1, SILVIA MORALES 1, and ROLANDO FUNES 1

1 From the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama (INCAP), Guatemala, C. A.

School children from a rural Indian community in the highlands of Guatemala were divided into three groups. Group 1 (the egg group) received 2 boiled eggs and 2 glasses of Incaparina daily. The cholesterol content of this supplement was 600 mg. Group 2 (the cholesterol group) received 600 mg. of crystalline cholesterol daily, plus 2 glasses of Incaparina containing 15 ml. of cottonseed oil each. Group 3 (the control group) received only the Incaparina with the same amount of oil. A significant increase in serum cholesterol levels was observed in group 1 at the end of four weeks; no increase was observed in the other groups. Although the increase in serum cholesterol levels observed in group 1 was significant, the increase was small, indicating that probably this Indian group has an intrinsically low responsiveness to dietary manipulations.
