Abstract

|
|
A nutritional study of 101 children at Tangjeong myun in Chungcheong Province was undertaken in July, 1992, to prove the relationship between obesity and hyperlipidemia in children. Mean value of height, weight and weight for height were 98.5%,
100.3%,
and 101.7% of KPA(Korean Pediatrics Assoc. standard ) respectively.
by the WLI(weight for height ) criteria, 5.4% of subjects were moderately underweight; whereas 9.8% of subjects were overweight. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C).
Mean
values of TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C were 163.1mg/dl, 96.8mg/dl, 47.3mg/dl, and 96.7mg/dl respectively, Mean values of atherogenic index (AI) and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (LPH) were 2.5 and 2.1.
By the NCEP (National cholesterol education program ) classification, risk group in TC was 30.7% of subjects, 21.2% in LDL-C, 40.9% in TC, 5.9% in HDL-C and 17.6% AI.
The degree of obesity showed positive correlation with serum lipid levels except HDL-C. LDL-C, LPH and AI levels were higher in overweight than in normal and underweight children. Between anthropometric measurements and serum lipids levels
correlation
didn't have statistical significance but, height showed positively correlated with HDL-C.
These results indicate the urgent need of nutritional education in the community to prevent further increase in childhood obesity and hyperlipidemia. Therefore it would be very helpful to suggest the direction of nutritional education expansion.
