RESUMO
Introduction: Dyslipidemias are increasingly prevalent in the child population, associated with triggering factors like: inadequate food consumption, genetic and biological factors, which can lead to cardiovascular complications in adulthood. Objective: To assess the lipid profile and some associated risk factors in schools located in Camargibe/PE, Brazil-2004. Method: Crosssectional study of 1206 randomly selected male and female children between 7 and 14 years old. The lipid profile was evaluated through biochemical blood level dosage of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and fractions (LDL-c, HDL-c). Food consumption was evaluated through a qualitative daily frequency questionnaire. Physical exercise was evaluated by applying a weekly frequency questionnaire of daily, programmed and sedentary activities. Results: A heterogeneous distribution (p=0.000) was found in the demographic characteristics of the population, with 54.5% (CI95% 51.6-57.3) in girls and 73.3% in the age group from 7 to 10. As for the lipid profile: 40% (CI95% 37.1-42.90) with total cholesterol (TC) (>170mg/dL), 13.7 (CI95%11.7-16.0) LDL-c (>130mg/dL), 32.9% (CI95%30.0-35.8) HDL-c(<45mg/dL), 16.3% (CI95%14.1-18.5) triglyceride level (TG) (>130mg/dL), with statistical significance (p=0.000). There was no statistically significant relation between food consumption, biological and anthropometric variables and lipid fractions. Excess weight prevailed in 15.3% of the subjects. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of dyslipidemia, sedentary profile and excess weight, besides important food consumption mistakes
