glucose. Results. Plasma levels of homocysteine were elevated in children with obesity, 42,18% of cases, compared to the control values (the mean 8,98 ± 1,73 µmol/ vs 6,1 ± 2,4 µmol/l). Increased levels of homocysteine in obese children was correlated with body mass index and more important to the in obese children with hypertension (5 cases). Elevated Hcy were often associated with high total cholesterol ± triglycerides in obese children compared with control values, normal values of blood

... ose. Conclusions. Obesity in school children and especially association and the presence of high blood pressure werw associated with an increase in plasma homocysteine values often correlated with elevated total cholesterol ± triglyceride levels. Research and systematic monitoring of values of plasma homocysteine correlated with cholesterol and triglyceride levels allows an objective estimation of cardiovascular risk in children with obesity and an indication for cardiovascular prevention effective measures.
