Abstract
Introduction Childhood obesity affects both developed and developing countries of all socioeconomic groups irrespective of age sex or ethnicityObjective to study the patterns of lipid profiles in obese and normal childrenMaterials and Methods A total of 50 healthy children between the age group of 1015 years were selected from private schools in Kurnool City Schools were selected based on simple random sampling method The study was conducted after taking clearance from Kurnool Medical College ethical committee Then fasting blood samples of children were collected in the morning under aseptic conditions for the estimation of lipid profile Lipid profile was estimated in Central Clinical Laboratory of Government General Hospital Kurnool with the Semi Auto Analyzer using the CHOD POD methodResults Total Cholesterol TC Serum Triglycerides STG High Density Lipoproteins HDLC Low Density Lipoproteins LDLC and TCHDL ratio levels are significantly higher in obese children compared to normal children in the present study was notedConclusion Increased levels of Lipid profile in obese children may be due to high calorie intake and decreased physical activity of the children The present study suggests that school children should take a balanced diet try to avoid intake of fat food and increase their physical activity by playing outdoors Keywords Children Lipid profile Obesity
