OBJECTIVE To evaluate compliance with dietetic treatment and its influence on levels of cholesterol and lipoproteins in hypercholesterolaemia in young children, over a period of two years. METHODS A descriptive longitudinal study. METHODS Two paediatric clinics at the "Soria Norte" Health Centre. METHODS 47 patients between 3 and 10 years old, with overall cholesterol levels > 185 mg/dl and C-LDL > 110 mg/dl. RESULTS 51% of the children correctly followed the dietetic advice given and at the 6 months follow-up showed an overall decrease in cholesterol and C-LDL. This decrease was less significant at a year from the start of the treatment. CONCLUSIONS Diet is an efficacious treatment of hypercholesterolaemia in children. However, it is difficult to maintain over a long period.
