Normal values for serum levels of total cholesterol, and of low‐density and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol from a longitudinal study of children from birth to two years of age, and from cross‐sectional studies of four‐year‐old children, schoolchildren aged from eight to 18 years, and the young adult parents of the two‐year‐old children are reported. These data will provide a reference range for the normal Australian youth population, and cut‐off points in the identification of hypercholesterolaemia.
