Study on Serum Lipid Levels and the Related Factors among Children in Pindingshan City

Objective To explore the normal serum lipid levels and the related factors among children in Pingdingshan city, and to provide basis for preventing cardiovascular diseases early.Methods 258 children aged from 8 to 16 were participated in physical and health status examination. Then their serum lipid levels were determined.Results The levels of total cholesterol(TC)、triglyceride(TG)、high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C)、low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) were as follows in turn: (3.51±0.77)、(0.96±0.32)、(1.15±0.24)、(1.76±0.62)(mmol/L); TG levels of overweight、obese children were obviously higher than normal-weight children(P0.01), but the HDL-C level was lower(P0.05);Childhood waist hip ratio was correlated positively with the TG level (r=0.216, P0.01),systolic pressure (SP) was correlated negatively with the HDL-C level (r=-0.284,P0.01). Conclusion overweight、obese, big waist hip ratio and higher blood pressure are risk factors of dyslipidemia in children and can be the indexes in screening high risk children with dyslipidemia in early period.
