... in adiposity. Objectives: To detect the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and lipid profiles in dyslipidemic T1D patients and study the effect of VD supplementation on lipid profiles of VD-deficient T1D patients. Methods: Fifty patients with T1D (for >2 years) and dyslipidemia were...

... or dyslipidemia and obesity, the body mass index (BMI) is usually used. Unlike waist circumference (WC), BMI does not reflect body fat distribution. The aim of this study is to investigate whether BMI or WC is a better predictor of hypertension or dyslipidemia in overweight/obese children and adolescents. Methods...

...S. Shalitin; M. Phillip Aims: To establish the frequency of dyslipidemia in obese Israeli children and adolescents and its association with other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.
