Background: Diet and healthy modifications in lifestyle represent the first therapeutic approach for early intervention in hypercholesterolemia. We aimed to evaluate the impact of a qualitative dietetic program rather than a quantitative one on metabolic parameters and anxiety level of children affected by heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia [heFH] and their mothers.Methods: In a sample of 42 heFH normalweight children (11.4 +/- 2.9 years old), we investigated the factors which were associated with children perceived quality of life and with their mothers' anxiety levels after qualitative dietary changes rather than after quantitative ones.Results: The administered diets had similar metabolic effects. However, higher Child Behavior Checklist (Behavior Problems subscale) [CBCL] scores were significantly associated with the permanence in quantitative diet, as well as children's higher age, higher Children's Depression Inventory 2 [CDI2] and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children [STAI-CH] score, and with mothers' anxiety at the baseline.Conclusion: In heFH children, an intervention in the diet to improve food choice seems to be associated with a more healthy children behavior rather than a quantitative diet.
