Obesity, characterized by an excess accumulation of body fat, presents a critical public health challenge due to its association with numerous serious illnesses. This study aimed to assess how dietary habits correlate with lipid profiles in obese children. A total of 100 children aged 4-12, from the National Nutritional Institute's obesity clinic in Cairo, participated, with 70 classified as obese and 30 as controls. Body mass index and dietary patterns, along with serum lipid profiles, were key parameters analyzed. The findings indicated significant differences between the groups in calorie intake, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and fiber (P<0.05). Additionally, mineral and vitamin intake was notably higher in the obese group, except for calcium, magnesium, and vitamin A, while vitamin C intake was lower compared to controls. In comparison to controls, obese children had a notable decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) of 14.2% and a striking increase in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (p<0.05). The study underscores the importance of early nutritional and metabolic assessment in combating childhood obesity and its associated health risks, aiming to mitigate long-term complications and foster healthier futures for children.
