Low cholesterol levels in children predict impulsivity in young adulthood
Total and LDL cholesterol measured in 9, 15 and 18 years old boys predicted disinhibition and thoughtlessness in 25 years old young adults. High scores of disinhibition were associated with low total and LDL cholesterol levels in males but, while less consistently, with high total and LDL cholesterol levels in females. Cross-sectional analysis did not result in systematic outcomes.
