dc.description.abstractObjective: To study the prevalence of common dyslipidemia among overweight and obese children between 2-18 years in a tribal region. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 151 overweight and obese children aged 2-18 years, who visited the pediatric outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Jharkhand between 1 August and 30 November, 2022. Dyslipidemia was defined as anyone of the following: a total cholesterol level of 240 mg/dL, a triglyceride level of 150 mg/dL, a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (LDL-C) of 140 mg/dL, a high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (HDL-C) of 40 mg/dL, or the use of a lipid-lowering drug [8]. Overweight and obesity were defined as per World Health Organization criteria. Result: The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 63.6%. The most common type of dyslipidemia was low HDL-C + high TG levels found in 32.5% (n=49) children. The most prevalent pattern of dyslipidemia in overweight children was low HDL-C (19, 32.3%); and in obese children low HDL-C and high TG levels (39, 42.3%). Conclusion: The prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was high among overweight and obese children in this region. There was a positive association between dyslipidemia and body mass index.en_US
