1. The results obtained for 236 Viennese schoolchildren between 11 and 12 years of age indicated that 38% of children had an increased concentration of cholesterol in their serum and 3% had an increased serum triglyceride concentration..

2. The results of the preliminary study suggested that, by extending the dimensions of the screening, further problems, for example the correlation between different ‘risk’ factors and the significance of nutritional habits, might be studied.
