Subjects in this arm had been instructed to achieve specific daily maximum intakes in total fat (≤ 30% of total energy intake), saturated fatty acids (≤10% of total fat intake) and cholesterol (≤ 300 mg). Furthermore the participating families had been trained to replace as many visible fat sources as possible with rapeseed oil due to its favorable composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Furthermore the participating families had been trained to replace as many visible fat sources as possible with rapeseed oil due to its favorable composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Subjects in this arm were additionally instructed to consume at least 0.25 g of soy protein per kg bodyweight per day and were provided with recipes and practical advice on how to achieve this goal. Example provided: a child with a bodyweight of 30kg would have to consume the equivalent of approx. 50g of Tofu per day to meet the treatment target.

Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Subjects in both groups had been instructed to achieve specific daily maximum intakes in total fat (≤ 30% of total energy intake), saturated fatty acids (≤10% of total fat intake) and cholesterol (≤ 300 mg). Furthermore the participating families had been trained to replace as many visible fat sources as possible with rapeseed oil due to its favorable composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Dietary counseling (fat modifed diet)

Subjects in both groups had been instructed to achieve specific daily maximum intakes in total fat (≤ 30% of total energy intake), saturated fatty acids (≤10% of total fat intake) and cholesterol (≤ 300 mg). Furthermore the participating families had been trained to replace as many visible fat sources as possible with rapeseed oil due to its favorable composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Subjects allocated to the soy group and their families were additionally instructed to consume at least 0.25 g of soy protein per kg bodyweight per day and were provided with recipes and practical advice on how to achieve this goal. Example provided: a child with a bodyweight of 30kg would have to consume the equivalent of approx. 50g of Tofu per day to meet the treatment target.
