Prevalence and Structure of Dyslipidemia in Children and Adolescents With Obesity and Overweight

Abstract

The study of lipid profile of blood in 244 children aged 6–17 years with obesity and overweightshowed a high prevalence of dyslipidemia in these patients (60,7 %), especially with against prolongedduration of obesity (75,9 %) and early puberty (72,9 %). It has been determined that lipid profileviolations occur half as likely in children with overweight (36,7 %) that in those with obesity (66,7 %),regardless of its degree and sex of patients. Dominating in dyslipidemia structure obese children,regardless of sex, are a decrease in high density lipoprotein, elevated levels of total cholesterol andlow density lipoprotein, mainly in the form of combined changes in these indicators.
