In a cohort study, the blood lipids of 35 children aged 6-8, 20 boys and 15 girls, and their parents were estimated to assess their relationship to energy expenditure measured using a minute-by-minute heart-rate method. Blood cholesterol and triglycerides were estimated using a Reflolron (Boehringer Mannheim UK). Cholesterol was inversely correlated with total energy expenditure (EE), and with EF_Jkg in boys, r = 0.54, p<O.01, and was inversely related to the minutes per day that the child's
