DYSLIPIDEMIA IN ADOLESCENTS LIVING IN A CITY OF PARANÁ AND ASSOCIATION WITH ABDOMINAL OBESITY

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate associations of abdominal obesity, and changes in lipid profile (LP) of adolescents. We randomly selected 650 adolescents from a city of Paraná. For abdominal obesity was measured waist circumference (WC), to verify LP blood collection was performed which determined the dosages of triglycerides, total cholesterol, high and low density lipoproteins. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test (x2) followed by bivariate analysis with value expressed in odds ratio and significance of p <0.05. For girls with WC above recommended, the risk ranged from 2.28 to 6.79 times more likely to inappropriate LP and up to seven times more likely to develop dyslipidemia. For boys with WC was increased up to 22 times more likely to TG increased. Thus, against abdominal obesity, the girls showed a higher risk of dyslipidemia.
