Effect of obesity and exercise training on circulating lipids in American Indian adolescents.

ABSTRACT: Childhood dyslipidemia is predictive of future cardiometabolic disease. We determined the impact of obesity (Ob) and an exercise program on lipids in American Indian adolescents. This is a secondary analysis from a previously reported trial designed to determine the impact of financial incentives on exercise behavior in American Indian adolescents who were tested in Southeast Oklahoma between June 2013 and January 2017. We performed a cross-sectional comparison of fasting lipids in participants with Ob (n = 74) and a group with normal weight (NW, N = 39) at baseline prior to the exercise intervention. Measurements were repeated for the Ob group after they completed a 16-week exercise program (n = 53). Compared to the NW group, the Ob group at baseline had higher triglycerides (median [inte
