Background: Low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, serum triglyceride concentrations, blood pressure, obesity, and blood glucose are all known to contribute to risk for development of atherosclerosis. Research demonstrates that dietary modifications, which reduce saturated fat intake, impact the likelihood of development of atherosclerosis.
Objective: The Atherosclerosis and Teen Eating Study was designed to determine whether a short-term health educational program, complemented by availability of alternative low-fat school lunches, could result in favorable changes to healthier eating patterns.
