BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular risk factors begin in childhood and adolescence. This study aimed at assessing serum lipids and prevalence of @entity2299 in 11-18 year old students of Birjand. METHODS: The present cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study was done on 2,643 middle and high school students of Birjand aged 11-18 years (1,396 @entity1 and 1,247 @entity1 ). Blood samples were collected for the measurement of blood lipids, including @entity165 , @entity412 , HDL, and LDL after a 12-hour fasting period. The defined borderline and abnormal values stated in 2011 by the American Academy of @entity1 , was used. RESULTS: According to our results, it is concluded that: (i) 34.3% (31.3% @entity1 and 37.6% @entity1 ) of adolescents had at least one @entity2299 . (ii) 24.7% of the individuals had HDL lower than 40, where 14% of them TG>= 130, 6.1% of cases TC>= 200, and 3.5% of cases LDL>= 130. @entity4977 within low HDL type and @entity2298 were significantly higher in @entity1 (P<0.05) than @entity1 . @entity1007 and @entity2298 in the age group of 11-14 years and low HDL in the age group of 15-18 years showed the highest values (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Adolescents of Birjand have high prevalence of @entity2299 . Preventive measures are recommended to improve lifestyle, including healthy nutrition, encouraging adolescents to exercise, and more mobility.
