Demographic changes in the society over time generated a lot of food patterns incorrect. These changes have also influenced the children, contributing to the increase in childhood obesity. Secondary obesity is dyslipidemia, which is characterized by abnormal concentrations of serum lipids. The aim of the study was to evaluate the lipid profile and the presence of obesity in children 5-5 years, 11 months enrolled in CMEI's Trinidad-GO in 2013. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire, measurement of anthropometric data such as weight, height and waist circumference, as well as achievement of lipid. We obtained a total of 49 participants, and of these 6.1% were obese by BMI and 6.1% were obese by waist circumference. The data indicate that economic partners 93% of children live with 1-2 minimum wages and 64% of families have 2-3 children. The dietary data revealed that overall, children have a regular supply considered good, a small portion consumes fried soda and fresh daily. Regarding physical activity, more than half of children do physical activity (63%). Family history suggests that 22% of children have relatives with obesities, 18% with high cholesterol, 37% with diabetes, 55% with hypertension, 18% have relatives who smoke near children, 27% who had a stroke and 18% to had infarction. The analysis of these data resulted in 5 of the 49 samples with borderline values ​​for triglycerides and increased value in sample 1. Other changes were observed in the results of the examination of HDL-c, in which 12 of the 49 samples showed lower values. We can conclude that there were some cases of obesity and dyslipidemia by decreasing HDL-C and a case of isolated hypertriglyceridemia and that associated with nutritional factors, family history of diseases and routines can directly interfere with the child's health as adults.
