Description
Summary:Atherosclerosis is a complex condition that begins during the breastfeeding period and is influenced by lifestyle and genetic factors. The lipid profile must be carefully monitored in children belonging to risk groups, since its modifications are a factor that predicts the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study aimed to make a comparative analysis of data from serial measurements of total serum cholesterol (TC) and its fractions (high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and non-HDL cholesterol) and triglycerides (TG) in patients from the cardiology unit to the data of a control group and to assess the correlations with body weight, body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure. The study cohort included 80 hospitalized patients with CVD and a control group of 84 subjects belonging to groups considered healthy. Patients with dyslipidemia were mainly from urban areas and had a family history of CVD. Significant differences (P
