Many diseases and metabolic abnormalities are take place as result of increase lipids and lipoprotein in the blood. Cardiovascular events are the most common disease in this regard. The aim of this study is to determine the level of cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in children as a risk index for cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. To achieve this aim , the study was evaluate the effect of weight, family history and health status for children on the level of the lipids and lipoproteins. The result revealed significant increase in the level of lipids and lipoproteins (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the over weight children when compared with normal kids. While no clear effects were observed in the scale of lipids and lipoprotein values with regard to the family history and the health status issues. The outcome indicate that increase in the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides in the over weight children are the main directing consideration for the cardio vascular diseases in the adult. Further more the follow up ,the screening for the intensity of lipids and lipoproteins and the early therapy for hyperlipidemia will certainly decrease the incidence of future cardiovascular disease.
