Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the frequency of dyslipidemia secondary to childhood obesity, a recently emerging clinical entity, and to compare serum lipid profiles in obese and non-obese children. Material and Methods: After screening children with an obese appearance, a group of 119 obese children aged between 2 to 16 years with a body mass index above the 95th percentile and a control group of 124 children in a similar age range were compared in terms of serum lipid profile. Results: An abnormal lipid profile was determined in 62.6% of obese children, and serum levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides were higher in this group. It was found that Childhood obesity was associated with higher levels of total cholesterol (44.5%), triglycerides (48.7%), LDL (38.7%), and lower levels of HDL (23.5%). Conclusion: Obese children have a higher risk of secondary dyslipidemia and associated comorbidities. In order to prevent childhood obesity and its dangerous consequences, effective measures must be implemented in terms of screening, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
