"A semi-quantitative assessment of the consumption of different food groups will be carried out using a frequency questionnaire validated by the Spanish population27. This questionnaire consists of 137 food items and will be obtained by the dietitian of our Unit (see annex).~The child population and/or their parents will be instructed on how to fill the data in the food diary for a period of 3 days, in order to be able to analyse the nutritional composition of the intake and the effect on the lipid profile. The first food register, will be obtained at the collection visit before starting any type of treatment. Another food diary will be included after one year.~Physical activity will be collected from the Minnesota Test and we will ask about the consumption of tobacco."
