Abstract
Comparative profiles are reported for plasma lipids and lipoproteins, blood pressure, smoking, and selected socioeconomic variables for females less than 20 years of age using oral contraceptives and for pair-matched non-users from the Lipid Research Clinics Prevalence Study. About 5% of adolescent females reported OC use; they had significantly higher levels of plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol than did the non-users. Significantly more non-users of OC belonged to households of the lowest occupational status; no differences in OC usage by educational status of the head of household were discernible. Of the OC users, 58% were classified as current smokers, as compared with 23% of the non-OC users.
