TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; TV: television; BMI: body mass index; OR: odds ratio; CI: 95% confidence interval. 1 Univariate analysis; 2 analysis adjusted for variables that showed significance (p < 0.05). *Significant data (p < 0.05). alterations, especially higher levels of LDL-c, with these variables being identified as determinants of dyslipidemia in the preschoolers evaluated. 5 It is thus understood that this condition, largely due to dietary habits, is affecting schoolchildren at increasingly early ages. In detail, this study indicated an associated between dyslipidemia and low levels of CRF, increased LDL-c, and sedentary school transport, as well as low levels of HDL-c and more time in front of the TV. It is thus proposed that sedentarism and low CRF are associated with metabolic 733
