Smoking habits were studied in 1,274 healthy adolescents of both sexes, aged 10 to 18 years, of Fuenlabrada, Madrid. It was known by personal interview. 30% of the population were smokers. Smoking habits increased with age up to 18 years when 63% of males and 53% of females were smokers. Smoking prevalence was significantly higher among males than in females. Males and females smokers had significantly lower levels of C-HDL and higher levels of C-LDL/C-HDL ratio than non smokers. No differences were observed for anthropometric variables, body mass index, blood pressure, skin-fold thickness, total cholesterol, glucemia and uric acid. The implications of these findings are of concern in light of the apparently protective role of C-HDL in coronary heart disease. These findings provide valuable information to the promotion of antismoking campaigns in adolescent age.
对马德里富恩拉夫拉达1274名年龄在10至18岁的健康青少年（男女皆有）的吸烟习惯进行了研究。通过个人访谈了解情况。30%的人口吸烟。吸烟习惯随年龄增长而增加，到18岁时，63%的男性和53%的女性吸烟。男性的吸烟率显著高于女性。与不吸烟者相比，男性和女性吸烟者的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（C-HDL）水平显著较低，而低密度脂蛋白胆固醇与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇的比值（C-LDL/C-HDL）较高。在人体测量变量、体重指数、血压、皮褶厚度、总胆固醇、血糖和尿酸方面未观察到差异。鉴于高密度脂蛋白胆固醇在冠心病中明显的保护作用，这些发现的影响令人担忧。这些发现为促进青少年时期的反吸烟运动提供了有价值的信息。
