Key result
Overweight adolescents showed a similar total increase in postprandial triglycerides compared to eutrophic adolescents (29.8 vs. 28.2 mg/dl, p=0.762) after a standardized fat load test.

Weight excess alone may not worsen adolescent postprandial lipemia; leaves open fasting TG as key modifier for prospective study.

Does weight excess influence postprandial lipemia in adolescents following a standardized oral fat load?
Absolute Event Rate: 29.8% vs 28.2%
p-value: p=0.762
Weight excess in adolescents does not induce exaggerated postprandial lipemic alterations compared to normal-weight peers, unless accompanied by underlying fasting hypertriglyceridemia.
Sahade et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Overweight and postprandial lipemia (n=83). Overweight vs. Eutrophic (normal weight) was evaluated on Total increase in triglycerides (Δ-TG) from baseline to maximum level (p=0.762). Overweight adolescents showed a similar total increase in postprandial triglycerides compared to eutrophic adolescents (29.8 vs. 28.2 mg/dl, p=0.762) after a standardized fat load test.
