title: [Correlation between lipid pattern and body mass index in obesity].
abstract: Lipid plasma levels were measured in a group of 519 obese subjects, aged 7-66 years, divided according to age, sex and BMI. Lipidemia and total cholesterolemia increased both with age and BMI, irrespective of sex; LDL and VLDL increased in relation to age and, with less evident differences, to BMI. Triglycerides increased in the age bracket from adolescent to adult, especially in males, whereas their increase in relation to BMI showed no difference between the sexes. Chylomicron plasma levels remained steady both in relation to age and BMI.
