Abstract:

The study estimated the prevalence of serum lipids changes among adolescents and investigated its association with overweight and abdominal obesity. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study with 525 adolescents from Piracicaba (SP). Anthropometric (body mass index, waist circumference and waist-height ratio) and biochemical information were obtained (total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides). The relationship between the anthropometric indicators and changes in lipid profile was tested by logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of dyslipidemia was about 81%. We verified association between high WHeR and serum lipids changes in total cholesterol (OR=2.00 ; CI 95% = 1.09-3.64) and triglycerides (OR=4.48; CI 95% = 2.03-9.89) after adjustment for age and sex. No significant associations of changes in lipid profile were found with overweight and CC. Conclusion: The high prevalence of dyslipidemia and its association with abdominal obesity indicates that preventive measures should begin in childhood in order to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
