<sec><title>Objectives</title><p>To investigate the relationship between dyslipidemia and obesity status among Viet-namese adolescents.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>In this case-control study, 282 adolescents (6–11 years), including 88 obese cases and 194 normal-weight controls, were recruited from a population-based cross-sectional study from two provinces in Vietnam. The anthropometric, blood lipid, and other laboratory test results of the study subjects were analyzed.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Obese children tended to have more visceral fat (Pearson’s <italic>r</italic> = 0.795, <italic>p</italic> < 0.0001) than subcutaneous fat (Pearson’s <italic>r</italic> = 0.754, <italic>p</italic> < 0.0001), and this difference was associated with an increase in blood triglyceride level (Pearson’s <italic>r</italic> = 0.232, <italic>p</italic> < 0.05) and a strikingly high rate of hypertriglyceridemia (38.6%). We also found that birth weight and parental body mass index were related to the status of obesity among the study subjects. However, only birth weight was significantly higher in the obese group than in the normal weight group. These findings indicate the effect of prenatal nutrition on childhood obesity. Furthermore, high-birth weight children had a surprisingly high rate of obesity.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Together, our data suggest that obesity increased the risk for hypertriglyceridemia, which was, at least partially, due to prenatal nutrition.</p></sec>
