Abstract
BACKGROUND Normal-weight obesity (NWO) is characterized by normal body mass index (BMI) but high body fat percentage (%BF) that increases the risks of cardiometabolic comorbidities. Accurate assessment and interpretation of body composition data are necessary to reduce these risks. OBJECTIVES To compare the cardiometabolic profile of individuals with NWO and normal %BF and evaluate the associated risk factors. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 222 Brazilian adults from a university community, of whom 157 had NWO and 65 had normal BMI and %BF (non-NWO). All participants reported being asymptomatic and without underlying health conditions. Socioeconomic, lifestyle, food intake, anthropometry, body composition measures (using dual-energy radiological absorptiometry), and lipid and glycemic profiles were evaluated. A p < 0.05 was established as significant. RESULTS The median age of the participants was 23 years (interquartile range: 21 to 25), and most were female (67.1%). No significant differences were found in blood pressure, age, or physical activity levels between the NWO and non-NWO groups. However, the frequency of lipid profile disturbances was higher in the NWO group (54%) compared to the non-NWO group (34%) (p < 0.006). Neck circumference, %BF, and lipid profile disturbances were positively associated with NWO. CONCLUSION Individuals with NWO have a worse cardiometabolic profile than those without NWO, and this condition is associated with important biomarkers. Addressing these outcomes is important for preventing long-term cardiometabolic complications. Accurate assessment and interpretation of body composition data, regardless of BMI, are crucial in this scenario.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduction of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) levels is the cornerstone in risk reduction, but many high-risk patients are not achieving the recommended lipid goals, even in high-income countries. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether patients seen in the city of Curitiba public health system are reaching LDL-c goals after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS This retrospective cohort explored the data of patients admitted with AMI between 2008 and 2015 in public hospitals from the city of Curitiba. In order to evaluate the attainment of the LDL-c target, we have used the last value registered in the database for each patient up to 2016. For those who had at least one LDL-c registered in the year before AMI, percentage of reduction was calculated. The level of significance adopted for statistical analysis was p<0.05. RESULTS Of 7,066 patients admitted for AMI, 1,451 were followed up in an out-patient setting and had at least one evaluation of LDL-c. Mean age was 60.8±11.4 years and 35.8%, 35.2%, 21.5%, and 7.4% of patients had LDL-c levels ≥100, 70-99, 50-69 and <50 mg/dL, respectively. Of these, 377 patients also had at least one LDL-c evaluation before the AMI. Mean LDL-c concentrations were 128.0 and 92.2 mg/dL before and after AMI, with a mean reduction of 24.3% (35.7 mg/dL). LDL-c levels were reduced by more than 50% in only 18.3% of the cases. CONCLUSION In the city of Curitiba public health system patients, after myocardial infarction, are not achieving adequate LDL-c levels after AMI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are known to have increased cardiovascular risk but there are few data on the risk of pediatric kidney transplant recipients. We aimed to assess the impact of pre- and post-transplant overweight on allograft function and to characterize the evolution of several cardiovascular risk variables over time and their impact. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the records of 23 children/adolescents followed at a tertiary center after kidney transplant was conducted. Data on anthropometry and cardiometabolic variables were analyzed before transplant, six and 12 months after the transplant, and at the last follow-up visit. The impact of the variables on allograft function (glomerular filtration rate (GFR)) was estimated by creatinine-based revised Schwartz formula (Cr-eGFR) and was evaluated using nonparametric tests. Results: The 23 patients included in the study had a median age of 6.3 (4.4-10.1) years. Both systolic and diastolic BP z-score values significantly decreased between BMI groups [1.2 (-0.2 - 2.3) vs. 0.3 (-0.4 - 0.6), p=0.027 and 0.8 (-0.4 - 1.3) vs. 0.1 (-0.6 - 0.7), p=0.028, pre-transplant and at the final evaluation, respectively]. During follow-up, GFR values decreased (Cr-GFR: 68.9 (57.7-76.8) vs. 58.6 (48.9-72.9), p=0.033 at 6-months and at the end, respectively). Significant negative correlations between triglycerides and cystatin C-based eGFR (ρ=-0.47, p=0.028) and Cr-Cys-eGFR (ρ=-0.45, p=0.043) at the end of the study were found. CONCLUSION Our study showed a high number of overweight children undergoing kidney transplant. A negative correlation between triglycerides and GFR was found, which highlights the importance of managing nutritional status and regular blood lipids evaluation after kidney transplant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic Stroke (IS) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) frequently coexist and share atherosclerotic disease risk factors. According to the American Heart Association, IS subtypes may be considered CAD risk equivalents, but the evidence for non-atherosclerotic IS is uncertain. Additionally, the Coronary Calcium Score (CCS) is an accurate marker to address CAD risk; however, CCS distribution between IS subtypes is not well characterized. OBJECTIVES To compare the CCS between atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic IS groups; and to determine which covariates were associated with high CCS in IS. METHODS This cross-sectional design included all patients with IS, 45 to 70 years of age at the time of the stroke, consecutively admitted to a rehabilitation hospital between August 2014 and December 2016, without prevalent CAD. All patients underwent CT scanning for CCS measurement. CCS≥100 was considered a high risk for CAD, with a significance level of p<0.05. RESULTS From the 244 studied patients (mean age 58.4±6.8 years; 49% female), 164 (67%) had non-atherosclerotic etiology. The proportions of CCS≥100 were similar between the atherosclerotic and the non-atherosclerotic groups (33% [n=26] x 29% [n=47]; p= 0.54). Among all IS patients, only age ≥60 years was independently associated with CCS≥100 (OR 3.5; 95%CI 1.7-7.1), accounting for hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, sedentarism, and family history of CAD. CONCLUSION Atherosclerotic IS did not present a greater risk of CAD when compared to non-atherosclerotic IS according to CCS. Only age ≥60 years, but not etiology, was independently associated with CCS≥100.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a case of cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) and discuss the importance of liver biopsy for diagnosis. CASE DESCRIPTION A female patient, aged two years and ten months, presented with an increased abdominal volume following hepatomegaly for four months. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated hepatomegaly and hepatic steatosis. Laboratory tests showed elevated liver serum enzymes and dyslipidemia. Liver biopsy was consistent with CESD. COMMENTS Although measuring enzyme activity is the gold standard for CESD diagnosis, liver biopsy is very helpful when investigating suspected cases of CESD, particularly upon other differential diagnoses to be considered.

Abstract
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate predictors of changes in lipid parameters consisting of LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), TC (total cholesterol) and non-HDL-C (non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol) among primary care patients. DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective study conducted on family medicine patients. METHODS Demographic features and other clinically relevant information were abstracted from medical records. The primary outcome was the difference in LDL-C level from initial testing to the index test. Secondary outcomes were the changes in TC and non-HDL-C levels between two measurements. RESULTS Three hundred and eleven participants were included in the final secondary analysis. Multiple linear regression revealed that male patients (β = 4.97, P = 0.040), diabetes (β = 9.75, P = 0.003) and higher LDL-C levels at baseline (β = 0.35, P < 0.001) were positively associated with LDL variance, whereas longer time period (β = -0.15, P = 0.045) and familial hypercholesterolemia history (β = -7.56, P = 0.033) were negatively associated. Male patients (β = 8.45, P = 0.002), DM (β = 9.26, P = 0.011), higher TC levels at baseline (β = 0.35, P < 0.001) and taking statins (β = 7.31, P = 0.023) were positively associated with TC variance, whilst longer time period (β = -0.183, P = 0.031) and familial hypercholesterolemia (β = -10.70, P = 0.008) were negatively associated. CONCLUSION In the present study, patients who were male, on statin treatment, diagnosed with diabetes and had higher baseline lipid values were more likely associated with better lipid outcomes at future testing.

Abstract
Non-communicable diseases are a public health problem in México. Coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus are the first and second cause of death in the country, followed by thrombotic cerebrovascular events. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death; one primary risk factor is hypercholesterolemia. The detection and treatment of lipid abnormalities is the key to the prevention and management of chronic non-communicable diseases. Two nationally representative surveys have shown that lipid abnormalities are the most common risk factors in Mexican adults. The purpose of this guide is to provide a basis for identifying dyslipidemia in a timely manner, and to systematize the criteria for diagnosis and treatment in the first and second level of care.
