Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: The patients have been submitted to a normocaloric diet, 30% fat of the total caloric daily intake according with the Dietary Intervention Study in Children (Step-One-Diet). The patients then have been submitted to a two year-follow-up and lipoprotein levels (total cholesterol, LDL- cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoprotein B), nutritional status (macro- and micro-nutrients) as well as anthropometric data (height, weight, BMI) have been monitored. RESULTS: Results showed a 10% total cholesterol and 30% triglycerides decrease, Iron and Calcium intake show increased levels approaching to the normal ones after controlled diet, while cholesterol intake was correct on both regimen. The growth parameters show a decrease in weight only in two obese and two overweight patients. CONCLUSIONS: The present study confirmed the effectiveness and safety of the Step-One-Diet in children patients, allowing triglycerides normalization in 60% of the patients, and a 10% cholesterol decrease, in agreement with the complex genetic inheritance of the disease.
