High-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses are considered to differ in terms of antiatherogenic potential. Therefore, the distribution and correlates of serum lipoprotein A-I (LpA-I) and LpA-I:A-II were examined in a random community-based subsample of black (n = 1,021) and white (n = 1,087) children aged 5 to 17 years. Black children had significantly higher LpA-I levels than white children. With respect to LpA-I:A-II, prepubertal (age 5 to 10 years) black males and pubertal (age 11 to 17 years) white children showed significantly higher values than their counterparts. With the exception of the LpA-I:A-II difference among prepubertal males, the observed black-white difference was independent of the racial differential in serum triglycerides, a metabolic correlate of HDL. A significant sex differential (males > females) was noted among blacks and whites for both HDL subclasses, with the exception of LpA-I levels at the pubertal age. Among the pubertal age group, a male-female crossover trend (females > males) in LpA-I levels was apparent after age 14. Sexual maturation and age were the major factors (negative) contributing to the variability in the levels of HDL subclasses among race-sex groups; adiposity (negative), insulin (negative), alcohol intake (positive), and oral contraceptive use (positive) emerged as minor but significant predictor variables. In terms of a relation to other lipoprotein variables, LpA-I compared with LpA-I:A-II correlated much more strongly with HDL cholesterol. Unlike LpA-I, LpA-I:A-II was associated significantly (positively) with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. These findings are indicative of intrinsic metabolic differences among the race-sex groups early in life, resulting in variability in the HDL subclass pattern and attendant antiatherogenic potential.
