Overweight and obesity are significant risk factors for dyslipidemia among school-age children in Beijing, highlighting the need for early lifestyle interventions.
Supports early metabolic screening in higher-weight pediatric populations; leaves open whether targeted lifestyle interventions can.
To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and risk factors in school-age children aged 6 to 17 years in Beijing.The data for the study were obtained from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance of Children and Nursing Mothers.Analyzed the prevalence of dyslipidemia and related risk factors.The prevalence of dyslipidemia in school-age children aged 6-17 years in Beijing was 10.23%.The prevalence rates of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C, and high LDL-C were 5.83%, 5.11%, 3.57%, and 3.92%, respectively.The prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C and high LDL-C were the lowest in school-age children with normal weight.The prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C were the highest in overweight school-age children.The prevalence rate of high LDL-C was the highest in obese school-age children.And the above differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Among the five districts in Beijing, Changping district had the lowest detection rates of dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Dongcheng District had the highest detection rates of dyslipidemia and hypercholesterolemia. Yanqing district had the highest detection rate of hypertriglyceridemia.And the above differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the prevalence of dyslipidemia in children aged 6-17 years in Dongcheng and Shunyi districts of Beijing was higher than that in Changping district, with OR values of 2.910 (95%CI: 1.283-6.600)and 2.739 (95%CI: 1.213-6.185),respectively.Compared with normal weight, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in overweight and obese children aged 6-17 years, with OR values of 2.910 (95%CI: 1.283-6.600).The prevalence of dyslipidemia was high in school-age children aged 6-17 years in Beijing.Overweight and obesity were the risk factors for dyslipidemia, and there were significant regional differences, which should be paid attention to by relevant departments.

Liyu Huang (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Dyslipidemia (n=841). Overweight and obesity vs. Normal weight was evaluated on Dyslipidemia (OR 2.555, 95% CI 1.335-4.888, p=0.005). Overweight and obesity significantly increased the risk of dyslipidemia in school-age children aged 6 to 17 years in Beijing compared to normal weight (OR 2.555).
