Background:Obesity is a condition of chronic accumulation of body fat and a factor for the onset of serious diseases such as dyslipidemia. Obesity and dyslipidemia are emerging as significant public health challenges in South Asian countries
Aim:This study aimed to assess the association of obesity with dyslipidemia by measuring LDL and HDL in adolescents

LDL and HDL, anthropometric (weight, height, and BMI). Analysis data was performed using an independent t-test, chi-square test, and Fisher test
Results:The results showed that the samples with a high risk for the measurement of LDL and HDL.
Conclusions:It was concluded that obese adolescents have close links with dyslipidemia and have low HDL level. Obesity in adolescents is essential as early as possible so that it does become a significant health problem.
