Introduction: Due to their increasingly sedentary lifestyles, school-age children are more at risk for hyperlipidaemia, which is defined by increased blood lipid levels. Children who have hyperlipidaemia are far more likely to be obese and have higher BMIs, which increases their risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) that may last into adulthood. This study examines the relationship between childhood sedentary behaviour and hyperlipidaemia, highlighting risk factors, pathophysiological mechanisms, and preventative strategies.

Method: To evaluate the connection between sedentary lifestyles, lipid metabolism, and the emergence of hyperlipidaemia in children, a thorough literature analysis was carried out. Important elements were examined, including lipoprotein profiles, lipid classes, and their connection to atherosclerosis. Pharmacological treatments, lifestyle changes, and screening techniques for hyperlipidaemia management were also assessed.

Conclusion: According to the results, controlling hyperlipidaemia and lowering children's long-term cardiovascular risks requires early detection through screening in addition to dietary changes and lifestyle changes such increased physical exercise. When lifestyle modifications are insufficient for severe cases, pharmaceutical treatment is advised. To reduce the increased prevalence of hyperlipidaemia and related CVD risks, public health interventions must emphasize encouraging youngsters to lead active lives and to be nutritionally aware.
