Objective
To evaluate the lipid profile and associated factors with dyslipidemia in children.
Methods
A cross-sectional study that evaluated children 4-7 years old, followed the first months of life in a Program of the Universidade Federal de Vicosa, Minas Gerais. Performed biochemical measurements were total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein and triglycerides. The variables possibly associated with lipid profile were maternal variables, sociodemographic and those associated with the child. Bivariate and multivariate analyses have been done, the latter by multiple logistic regressions.
Results
The sample consisted of 185 children, both genders. It was observed that 46.5% (n=86) showed increased levels of total cholesterol, 9.2% (n=17) of low density lipoprotein and 4.9% (n=9) in triglycerides. With relation to the high density lipoprotein, 35.1% (n=65) had values less than desirable. Demonstrated an independent association with the lipid profile of children the per capita income, maternal education and maternal age (with low density lipoprotein) and overweight, which was associated with a higher prevalence of changes in triglycerides.
Conclusion
High prevalence of dyslipidemia were observed. Sociodemographic conditions and nutritional status demonstrated influence, also in children, the occurrence of dyslipidemia, which are cited as risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Reveals the importance of studying these factors since childhood, performing studies with other age groups to check the prevalence and associated factors to promote the health care of this population group.
