Beyond conventional lipid panel: Estimated small dense and triglyceride-rich LDL cholesterol are associated with prediabetes independently of obesity in adolescents.
Childhood obesity is strongly associated with insulin resistance and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Novel lipid indices such as small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) and triglyceride-rich LDL (LDL-TG), along with the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, may improve early detection of metabolic risk, but their role in adolescents remains unclear.
