What are the Treatment Options for Pediatric Dyslipidemia?
The treatment of dyslipidemia in children generally involves lifestyle modifications and, in some cases, medication:
Dietary Changes: A heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats, trans fats, and sugars is recommended. Physical Activity: Encouraging at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily. Weight Management: Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise. Medications: Statins and other lipid-lowering medications may be prescribed for children with familial hypercholesterolemia or those who do not respond to lifestyle changes alone.
