Children do not normally develop atherosclerosis. However, they do develop fatty streaks in the aorta. These are reversible. During the first years of life dietary fat has an influence on blood lipids, and other traditional risk factors influence vascular function, but the consequences are unknown. As saturated fat has no positive effects, the Danish Nutrition Council recommends that the intake of saturated fat is reduced to 10 energy per cent from the age of 12 months. This can be accomplished with semi-skimmed milk (1.5% fat) instead of full-cream milk. During the first year of life, it is recommended that a teaspoon of fat is added to each serving of home made mashed food or porridge to prevent the diet from being so hypocaloric that it has a negative effect on growth.
儿童通常不会患动脉粥样硬化。然而，他们的主动脉中会出现脂肪条纹。这些是可逆的。在生命的最初几年，膳食脂肪会影响血脂，其他传统风险因素会影响血管功能，但后果尚不清楚。由于饱和脂肪没有积极作用，丹麦营养委员会建议从12个月起将饱和脂肪的摄入量降至能量的10%。这可以通过饮用半脱脂牛奶（脂肪含量1.5%）而不是全脂牛奶来实现。在生命的第一年，建议在每份自制的糊状食物或粥中添加一茶匙脂肪，以防止饮食热量过低而对生长产生负面影响。
