Prevalence of Dyslipidemia and Associated Factors in Obese Children and Adolescents.

CONCLUSION: Prevalence of dyslipidemia is high in obese children, and hypertriglyceridemia is in the foreground. Higher levels of IR and more apparent abnormal liver function test results are observed in the context of dyslipidemia and hepatosteatosis coexistence. Metabolic and hormonal alterations related with thyroid functions may also be associated with dyslipidemia and hepatosteatosis in obese patients. PMID: 26831558 [PubMed - in process]
