title: Dyslipidemia is Associated with Unfit and Overweight-Obese Children and Adolescents.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Both poor aerobic fitness and obesity, separately, are associated with abnormal lipid profiles.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To identify possible relationships of dyslipidemia with cardiorespiratory fitness and obesity, evaluated together, in children and adolescents.
  
  
  METHODS
  This cross-sectional study included 1,243 children and adolescents (563 males and 680 females) between 7 and 17 years of age from 19 schools. Obesity was assessed using body mass index (BMI) measurements, and cardiorespiratory fitness was determined via a 9-minute run/walk test. To analyze the lipid profile of each subject, the following markers were used: total cholesterol, cholesterol fractions (high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein) and triglycerides. Data were analyzed using SPSS v. 20.0, via prevalence ratio (PR), using the Poisson regression.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Dyslipidemia is more prevalent among unfit/overweight-obese children and adolescents compared with fit/underweight-normal weight boys (PR: 1.25; p = 0.007) and girls (PR: 1.30, p = 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The prevalence of dyslipidemia is directly related to both obesity and lower levels of cardiorespiratory fitness.
