N2 - BACKGROUND: Dyslipidemias are common in HIV-infected children, especially if treated with protease-inhibitors, but there are few data on how to treat dyslipidemias in this population. We estimated the dislypidemia prevalence and its association with treatment, diet, and physical exercise in children on anti-retroviral treatment at the El Salvador reference center for pediatric HIV care (CENID). METHODS: Information was gathered regarding socio-demographic characteristics, treatment, diet, and physical activity of 173 children aged 5-18 years and receiving anti-retroviral therapy.Triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), viral load, and CD4 T-lymphocytes were measured. Abnormal concentrations were defined as triglycerides ≥130 mg/dl in 10- to 18-year-olds and ≥100 mg/dl in
