Abstract
Objective: Review the literature on studies relating dyslipidemia and obesity in adolescents. Methods: This is a descriptive-discursive bibliographic study, carried out by reviewing the scientific literature. Bibliographic Review: Studies show that obesity has been identified as a multifactorial disease with important metabolic implications for the cardiovascular health of adolescents. It is noteworthy that this group is at risk of developing cardiovascular disease due to alarming weight gain, among other interfering factors such as genetics, lifestyle and over-consumption of ultra-processed foods, which also impact weight gain. The positive relationship between weight gain and dyslipidemia among adolescents is relevant and may compromise cardiovascular health and increase morbidity and mortality in this group. Final Considerations: The high prevalence of dyslipidemia observed among adolescents reinforces the need to monitor the lipid profile, especially in the presence of obesity or overweight. Thus, intervention actions should be implemented to promote cardiovascular health in this group.
