Prevalence study on glucose and serum lipids among obesity children in Haidian District of Beijing

Objective To study the serum lipids levels of obesity children and to provide data for early prevention of cardiovascular heart disease in children.Methods A total of 3 000 obese children according BMI were sampled at random from the children's growth and development surveillance data in a district of Beijing,and fasting serum total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and serum glucose(GLU) were assayed.Results The average glucose and serum lipids of the obese children were at normal level,however,58% of them were not all normal and 33.8%of them had at least two abnormal indicators.The abnormal rates of FPG,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C were 11.0%,39.1%,17.7%,4.2% and 17.8%,respectively.Level of FPG and TC,abnormal rates of TC and HDL-C were statistically significantly higher in male obesity children(P0.05),and level of HDL-C was statistically significantly higher in females(P0.05).Rank correlation was found between BMI and numbers of abnormal indicators by Spearman Rank Correlation analysis(r=0.144,P0.01).Conclusion The higher abnormal rate of glucose and serum lipids increase the clustering of children's risk factors on cardiovascular diseases.
