Summary Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) originates in childhood and risk is exacerbated in obesity. Mechanisms of the etiologic link between early adiposity and CVD‐risk remain unclear. Postprandial or non‐fasting dyslipidemia is characterized by elevated plasma triglycerides (TG) and intestinal‐apolipoprotein(apo)B48‐remnants following a high‐fat meal and is a known CVD‐risk factor in adults. The aim of this study was to determine (a) whether the fasting concentration of apoB48‐remnants can predict impaired non‐fasting apoB48‐lipoprotein metabolism (fat intolerance) and (b) the relationship of these biomarkers with cardiometabolic risk factors in youth with or without obesity. Methods We assessed fasting and non‐fasting lipids in youth without obesity (n = 22, 10 males, 12 females) and youth with obesity (n = 13, 5 males, 8 females) with a mean BMI Z‐score of 0.19 ± 0.70 and 2.25 ± 0.31 (P = .04), respectively. Results Fasting and non‐fasting apoB48‐remnants were elevated in youth with obesity compared to youth without obesity (apoB48: 18.04 ± 1.96 vs 8.09 ± 0.59, P
