“…In overweight and obese men a significant difference of the means of serum lipids rates was not seen. Other Brazilian studies also found higher prevalences in the levels of serum triglycerides in male individuals 27,28 . In that casuistry, we observed 6% of women and 22% of men with levels of triglycerides higher than 150mg/dL, a reference point from which preventive measures must be instituted.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the lipidic profile of overweight and obese individuals submitted to cardiologic assessment and who did not show evidences of cardiopathy. MethodsSample with 684 individuals, 389 (56.9%) 26.15 and in men 26.33 (p=ns). In the analysis through BMI ranges there was a significant difference between the sexes (p=0.037). In the categories of overweight and obesity, only the means of triglycerides in women showed a significant statistic difference: overweight women with 102.25±60.68 mg/dL and obese 121.64±63.57 mg/dL (p=0.034). ConclusionWomen without cardiopathy showed serum levels of glucose, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol lower than men's. In both sexes, the means are lower in the comparison with eutrophic and overweight, and only the triglycerides average of women with overweight and obesity showed significant statistic difference.

“…[27][28][29] Though the link between lipid levels in childhood and CAD in middle age has not been proven unequivocally, the significant association between cholesterol levels in childhood and those in the third decade supports the link between cholesterol and atherosclerosis starting early in life. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]22 In this study, hypertriglyceridemia was not seen as a major problem. Only 1.96% of the total children fell in that risk group.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Lipid levels show differences in different populations and are shown to be affected by age, sex, dietary habits, level of exercise and genetics. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] In addition, lipid levels may be affected by the types of food ingested, where food with high saturated fat content tends to elevate the plasma cholesterol levels.…”

Background: Lipid levels in children vary in different populations. Due to a close association between high lipid levels and development of atherosclerosis, considerable interest has been directed to investigating lipid levels in children. Materials and Methods: We conducted this study on 2914 children with ages ranging from 1 year to <15 years, randomly selected during a national household screening program. Fasting blood samples were used for estimation of triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Results: The overall range for cholesterol was 2.0-5.7 mmol/L and for triglyceride the overall range was 0.1-1.7 mmol/L. The children were separated into 14 groups depending on age, and the cholesterol and triglyceride levels were calculated in each age group. Using published guidelines for estimating "borderline" and "high risk" for coronary artery disease from cholesterol and triglyceride levels, the prevalence of borderline and high-risk groups was calculated. 7.72% of the children fell in the borderline risk group and 1.55% in the high-risk group using cholesterol values, while using triglyceride values, 1.4% and 0.55% fell in the borderline and high-risk groups, respectively. The prevalence of abnormality varied in the different age groups. Conclusion: The paper discusses the need for a lipid awareness program in Saudi children in an attempt to decrease the complications associated with dyslipidemias during adulthood.
