Fibrinogen, homocyst(e)ine, and C-reactive protein concentrations relative to sex and socioeconomic status in British young people

Article Abstract:

A study assessing the prevalence of the identified coronary heart disease risk factors in children and adolescents of differing socioeconomic status is carried out. Results conclude that elevated fibrogen, homocyst(e)ine, and C-reactive protein are present in this cohort of British children and although some social variation in the identified CHD risk factors in young people exists, the evidence is weak but differences might become more apparent in later life as environmental factors become more influential.

The correlations between fitness tests and adult health-related physical fitness were moderate and the sit-and-reach test results among boys and sit-ups and arm hang test in girls showed higher stability.
