“…Gender was also significantly with dyslipidemia in other studies [11][12][13][14] , but a recent study did not show a significant relationship between gender and dyslipidemia 15 , which supports our findings. We think that due to lack of large number of participants in this study, the relationship between gender and dyslipidemia may be not able to be generalized.…”

Introduction: Diabetes is associated aspects metabolic disorder such as dyslipidemia. Study objectives:The main objective of occurrence of dyslipidemia in diabetic patients treated outpatient clinics in Royal Medical services, Jordan. Methods and subjects:This study was a retrospective study. A total of 62 profil included. The following variables were included in the study: age, gender, BMI, and status of dyslipidemia. A working excel sheet was created to make raw data of all participants. The statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 21. Data representation included means, standard deviations, and frequencies and percentages. The relationships between variables were computed using Chi Significance was considered at α≤0.05. Study findings:The prevalence of dyslipidemia was about 60%. No significant relationships were found between dyslipidemia and study variables. Conclusion:The results of the present study did not agree with most studies in existing literature which i further studies using large numbers of participants are required to generalize the results.

“…In Saudi Arabia, a local study demonstrated that a high body mass index (BMI) was linked to increased LDL levels and decreased HDL levels in children aged two to 18 years old [ 18 ]. Among children in Riyadh recently diagnosed with diabetes, a study showed that 64% were overweight or obese, and 34% exhibited signs of insulin resistance [ 19 ].…”

Background: Obesity is a prevalent issue worldwide, affecting both children and adults and posing significant health risks. Obesity and overweight are known to be associated with metabolic abnormalities among children and adolescents. This study aims to determine the metabolic profiles, identifying any abnormalities and related factors among overweight and obese children in Saudi Arabia (SA). Methods: This study conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical analysis on 382 overweight and obese children between the ages of seven and 14 years. The subjects were visitors to pediatric endocrinology clinics and primary healthcare clinics in King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data from the electronic medical records between 2018 and 2020 were examined, focusing on total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and fasting blood sugar (FBS). Results: Among the study sample, 8% were found to have high TC, 19% had high LDL-C, 27% had low HDL-C, 12% had high TG, and 8% had high FBS. Overweight children had higher HDL levels, while obese children had higher TG levels. There was no significant difference between males and females or between different age groups in metabolic profiles. Conclusion: This study uncovered a low prevalence of abnormal lipid and FBS profiles among overweight and obese children and adolescents. Detecting and managing the early onset of dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia can prevent long-term consequences and safeguard children from the risk of future cardiovascular injuries and deaths.

Background: Obesity is a common metabolic disease world-wide and dyslipidemias among the most common metabolic disorders associated with obesity. The present study was undertaken to assess lipid profile level among healthy subjects and their relation with obesity.Subjects and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 100 subjects. General information related to data such as name, age, gender etc. was recorded in case history proforma. BMI was evaluated based on formula of BMI = Weight (kg)/Height (m)2. Based on BMI, subjects were divided into two groups according to their BMI values as- group I- Obese and Group II- Non obese. Group I had 65 and group II had 35 subjects. Lipid profile was done.Results: There was significant difference in group I and group II regarding waist circumference (WC), BMI (kg/m2), body adiposity index (BAI), visceral adiposity index (VAI), total cholesterol (TC) (P< 0.05). Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), HDL- C, LDL- C, TG, TC/HDL- C, LDL-C/HDL-C and TG/HDL-C was non- significant (P< 0.05). There was negative correlations between BMI and TC, LDL-C, HDL-C; WC, WHR, VAI and HDL-C and positive significant correlations were found between WC, WHR, and TG/HDL-C, as well as between VAI andTC, TG, TC/HDL-C, LDL/HDL-C, and TG/ HDL-C.Conclusion:Authors found that there was alteration of lipid profile in obese subjects. VAI is strongly related with lipid profile and may be considered as reliable obesity index in obese patients with dyslipidemias.
