The aim was to examine the effects of smoking, physical activity, and body mass on total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in adolescent schoolgirls in Sydney, Australia. Body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) were determined in 144 girls aged 15 to 18 years. Total cholesterol (TC) and HDL-C were estimated on fingerprick blood and behavioural variables assessed by questionnaire. Prevalence of overweight (> 90th centile for BMI) was less in Australian adolescents than reported from the USA. Smokers had lower total cholesterol than non-smokers; this was partly explained by a lower HDL-C in the smokers. Physical activity was associated with a less atherogenic TC/HDL-C ratio. Girls with BMI > 90th centile had higher mean TC/HDL-C and apoprotein B than the group as a whole but those > 90th centile for WHR did not.
目的是研究吸烟、体育活动和体重对澳大利亚悉尼青春期女学生总胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）的影响。对144名15至18岁的女孩测定了体重指数（BMI）和腰臀比（WHR）。通过手指采血估算总胆固醇（TC）和HDL-C，并通过问卷调查评估行为变量。澳大利亚青少年中超重（BMI高于第90百分位数）的患病率低于美国报告的患病率。吸烟者的总胆固醇低于非吸烟者；这部分是由于吸烟者的HDL-C较低。体育活动与动脉粥样硬化性较低的TC/HDL-C比值相关。BMI高于第90百分位数的女孩的平均TC/HDL-C和载脂蛋白B高于整个组，但WHR高于第90百分位数的女孩则不然。
