RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Descrever a prevalência de dislipidemia e sobrepeso entre crianças e adolescentes no Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil.

MÉTODOS:

Durante a avaliação clínica, um questionário foi respondio por meio de entrevista com os pais, incluindo dados pessoais de cada criança e adolescente. Os critérios de exclusão foram história pessoal ou familiar de diabetes ou doença arterial coronariana (DAC). Amostras de sangue foram coletadas após jejum de 12 horas, e as seguintes avaliações foram realizadas por métodos enzimáticos níveis séricos de colesterol total, colesterol LDL, colesterol HDL e triglicerídeos. Os dados foram analisados com o programa estatístico SPSS 11.5 que inclui o test-t de Student e o teste exato de Fisher.

RESULTADOS:

Das 414 crianças e adolescentes analisados no presente estudo, cerca de 30 por cento apresentaram um perfil lipídico aterogênico, caracterizado por altos níveis de triglicerídeo, colesterol total e colesterol LDL. A prevalência de sobrepeso nesta amostra de Pernambuco foi 4 por cento. As meninas apresentaram níveis de triglicerídeo e colesterol total mais elevados do que os meninos. Crianças e adolescentes apresentaram os mesmos valores de lipídios no sangue, o que não é esperado para crianças nessa fase do desenvolvimento.

CONCLUSÃO:

Na presente população, um prefil lipídico desfavorável sugere que programas objetivando a prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares e obesidade devem começar precocemente.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To describe the prevalence of dyslipidemia and overweight among children and adolescents in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil.

METHODS:

During clinical evaluation, a questionnaire was completed through interviews with parents and included personal details of the children and adolescents. An exclusion criterion was personal or parental history of diabetes or coronary artery disease (CAD). Blood samples were collected from subjects who had been fasting for 12 hours, and the following evaluations were performed using enzymatic

methods:

serum Total Cholesterol, LDL-Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol and Triglycerides. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 11.5 statistical package including Student's t test and Fisher's exact test.

RESULTS:

Of the 414 children and adolescents analyzed in the present study, about 30 percent presented an atherogenic lipid profile, characterized by higher levels of Triglyceride, Total and LDL- Cholesterol. The prevalence of overweight in this sample from Pernambuco was 4 percent. Girls had higher levels of Triglycerides and Total Cholesterol than boys. Children and adolescents presented the same values of lipid on blood that is not expected for children in this phase of development.

CONCLUSION:

In the present population, an unfavorable lipid profile among children and adolescents from Pernambuco suggests that programs targeting the prevention of cardiovascular disease and obesity must begin early in life.
