Title

PREVALENCE OF DYSLIPIDEMIA AMONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN BIRJAND, EAST OF IRAN, 2012

Pages

  15-20

Abstract

 Background: Various studies have indicated that dyslipidemia starts in CHILDhood. There is a relationship between the concentration of blood lipids and atherosclerosis. In this study, we assessed the PREVALENCE of dyslipidemia in elementary school CHILDren.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 1, 626 (882 girls and 744 boys) elementary school CHILDren aged between 6 and 11 years in Birjand in 2012. Samples were selected through multistage random sampling. The lipid profiles (i.e., cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C]) of the subjects were measured after 12 hours’ fasting. The definition of dyslipidemia was based on the criteria of The American CHILDren Academia in 2011.Results: Dyslipidemia (at least one abnormal level of a serum lipid) was detected in 31% of the CHILDren (31.3% of the girls vs.30.6% of the boys). Total cholesterol was ≥ 200 mg/dL in 13.4% of the CHILDren, LDL-C was ³ 130 mg/dL in 8.5%, HDL-C was<40 mg/dL in 11.3%, and triglyceride was ³ 130 mg/dL in 15.3%. The PREVALENCE of hypertriglyceridemia was significantly higher in the females than in the males (16.3% in the girls vs.13.8% in the boys; p value=0.01) - while hypercholesterolemia (12.2% in the girls vs.14.9% in the boys; p value=0.16), high LDL-C (8.5% in the girls vs.8.5% in the boys; p value=0.05), and low HDL-C (12.7% in the girls vs.9.5% in the boys; p value=0.1) were not significantly different between the two sexes.Conclusion: The PREVALENCE of dyslipidemia was high in the school CHILDren in Birjand and, thus, requires preventive measures.
