Background: Abnormal lipid level in children leads to cardiovascular diseases. There is increase in rate of cardiovascular diseases among children for past few years. There comes the role of diagnosis and treatment. Examination of lipid profile can help to rule out the disease. The aim of the present study was to study lipid profile of children aged between 8 to 16 years. Methods: A cross sectional study was planned . A total of 200 patients were included for the study. Blood samples were collected from each patient in fasting state. Samples were further examined for lipid profile estimation. Results: 200 students were selected for the present study. Of the 200 children 100 were boys i.e. 50% and 100 were girl’s i.e.50%. Total cholesterol for girls was 165.62±30.48 and for boys it was 162.08±30.16. Mean total cholesterol for girls were 94.2±22.80 and for boys were 92.54±21.14. Conclusions: lipid profile plays a very important role in good health of children. Examination of lipid profile should be done at an early age.
