ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT There is a high prevalence of dyslipidemia in adolescence. The aim of this study was to determine the lipid profile of adolescents and associated factors. We conducted a cross-sectional study with male and female adolescents from public and private schools in Teresina, aged 14 to 19 years. Body mass index (BMI) z-score was obtained and adjusted for age, in addition to waist circumference (WC) percentile values. Lipid profile was determined by enzymatic colorimetric method; LDL-C was calculated. The statistical tests Mann-Whitney U, Student's t, and odds ratio were used. The sample was comprised of 327 adolescents with a mean age of 16.5 years, 59.6% were female and 65.7% from public schools. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 85.6%, especially hypoalphalipoproteinemia. TG levels were significantly higher and HDL levels were lower among participants who attended public schools (P< 0.05). BMI and WC were associated with dyslipidemia; a higher mean BMI and overweight was observed in girls with dyslipidemia. In the adjusted regression, being from a public school increased the odds for low HDL-C and dyslipidemia, while overall higher BMI and abdominal excess weight represented a risk for higher triglycerides. Thus, overweight increased the chances of hypertriglyceridemia and studying in a public school increased the odds for dyslipidemia and hypoalphalipoproteinemia.
RESUMEN Las dislipidemias tienen una elevada prevalencia en la adolescencia. Nuestro objetivo fue determinar el perfil lipídico de adolescentes y sus factores asociados. Realizamos un estudio transversal que abarcó adolescentes de escuelas públicas y privadas de Teresina, con edad entre 14 y 19 años, de los dos sexos. El índice de masa corporal (escore-z, IMC-Z) se obtuvo conforme a la edad, y la circunferencia de la cintura (CC) en percentil. La determinación del perfil lipídico se realizó por método enzimático colorimétrico; LDL-C fue calculado. Las pruebas estadísticas Mann-Whitney U, T de Student y odds ratio fueran utilizadas. La muestra comprendió 327 adolescentes con edad media de 16,5 años, siendo 59,6% del sexo femenino y el 65,7% de escuelas públicas. La prevalencia de dislipidemia fue 85,6%, destacándose la hipo-alfa-lipoproteinemia. Los niveles de TC fueron significativamente mayores y los de HDL menores en las escuelas públicas (P< 0,05). Al asociar IMC y CC con dislipidemia, se observó mayores valores medios de IMC en las niñas con dislipidemia y sobrepeso. En la regresión ajustada, ser de escuela pública aumentó las posibilidades de bajo HDL-C y dislipidemia, mientras que el exceso de peso global y abdominal fueron factores de riesgo de cambios en los triglicéridos. Así, el exceso de peso elevó las posibilidades de hipertrigliceridemia, y estudiar en escuela pública elevó las posibilidades de dislipidemia e hipo-alfa-lipoproteinemia.

OBJETIVO: descrever o acesso aos serviços de saúde pelos índios das etnias Kanela e Guajajara e sua satisfação com a assistência prestada pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). MÉTODOS: estudo descritivo sobre amostra não probabilística de indígenas do município de Barra do Corda, estado do Maranhão, assistidos em Teresina, estado do Piauí, Brasil, em 2011; foi utilizado um questionário sobre os serviços de saúde utilizados com frequência, e as formas, facilidades e dificuldades no acesso a esses serviços. RESULTADOS: responderam ao formulário 67 chefes de família; destes, 48 utilizaram hospital e 43 referiram satisfação com os serviços; entre aqueles que utilizaram internações hospitalares, 17 consideraram a alimentação oferecida no hospital diferente dos costumes ou ruim, e 28 não dormiram conforme o hábito em suas aldeias. CONCLUSÃO: o acesso aos serviços do SUS foi facilitado pelos profissionais e a maioria sentiu-se satisfeita com o atendimento recebido.
