title: [Lipidic profile of individuals without cardiopathy with overweight and obesity].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the lipidic profile of overweight and obese individuals submitted to cardiologic assessment and who did not show evidences of cardiopathy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sample with 684 individuals, 389 (56.9%) women and 295 (43.1%) men, with age ranging from 14 to 74 (average of 40.6) years old, without evidences of cardiopathy after clinical assessment and analysis of electrocardiogram, thorax radiography, ergometric test on treadmill and two-dimensional Doppler echocardiogram. The serum profile of lipids and glucose regarding sex and ranges of body mass index (BMI) -- eutrophic up to 24.9 Kg/m2, overweight 25-29.9 Kg/m2 and obese > 30 Kg/m2, was studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The following means showed a significant statistic difference between the sexes: glucose (mg/dL) in women 90.21+/-23.13 and men 95.28+/-28.64 (p < 0.001); triglycerides (mg/dL) in women 97.27+/-55.24 and men 141.47+/-57.06 (p < 0.001) and HDL-C (mg/dL) in women 52.63+/-13.92 and men 43+/-10.88 (p < 0.001). The average BMI in women was 26.15 and in men 26.33 (p = ns). In the analysis through BMI ranges there was a significant difference between the sexes (p = 0.037). In the categories of overweight and obesity, only the means of triglycerides in women showed a significant statistic difference: overweight women with 102.25+/-60.68 mg/dL and obese 121.64+/-63.57 mg/dL (p = 0.034).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Women without cardiopathy showed serum levels of glucose, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol lower than men's. In both sexes, the means are lower in the comparison with eutrophic and overweight, and only the triglycerides average of women with overweight and obesity showed significant statistic difference.
