Abstract:
The rise in childhood obesity has lead to an increased number of children with lipid abnormalities,and the predominance of a combined dyslipidemic pattern characterized by a moderate-to-severe elevation in triglycerides,normal-to-mild elevation in low density lipoprotein cholesterol and reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol.Most of the published guidelines focus on managing primary dyslipidemia in pediatric patients,there is still no general consensus regarding the treatment of obesity-related lipid abnormalities in children.This article reviews screening,diagnosis and management of dyslipidemia associated with obesity in children,and emphasize lifestyle change is critical,in the rare child for whom diet and exercise interventions are insufficient,there are medication options that can be considered.
