To assess the relationship between serum cholesterol level and dietary intake in obese children, 50 subjects were selected as an obese group and 50 subjects as a normal group depending upon body mass index. Fasting blood samples were obtained and analyzed for serum total cholesterol(TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDLC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDLC) and triglyceride(TG). The dietary intake and information on dietary behavior and family environment were obtained by questionaire using 24 hour dietary recall method for 2-consecutive days. The concentrations of TC, LDLC, HDLC and TG of obese group were estimated to be 193.4㎎/dl, 122.5㎎/dl, 53.7㎎/dl and 86.0㎎/dl, respectively. The obese group showed higher TC, LDLC, TG level(p＜0.001) and lower HDLC level(p＜0.001) than normal group. Food intakes in obese group were similar to those of normal group except meats & fishes(p＜0.01), milk & dairy products, fruits(p＜0.05), and green & yellow vegetables(p＜0.001). Nutrient intakes in obese group exceeded Korean recommended dietary allowance for the corresponding ages. Saturated fatty acid (p＜0.05) and cholesterol(p＜0.001) intakes in obese group were higher than those of normal group. In correlation analysis, meats & fishes, eggs and milk & dairy products intakes were positively related to serum TC, LDLC and TG ; on the contrary, green & yellow vegetables and fruits intakes were negatively related to serum TC, LDLC and TG, but positively to HDLC. Obesity index, serum cholesterol level, cholesterol and saturated fatty acid intake were positively correlated with parent’s obesity index, frequency of snack per day, eating rate and late snack.
