  1. Values are shown as the mean ± SEM. VLDL very low density lipoproteins, LDL low density lipoproteins, HDL High density lipoproteins. Statistical differences are represented being that (*) p < 0.05 when the OW or OB were compared with the eutrophic individuals in the same age group; (Ī”) p < 0.05 when adult and elderly were compared in the same anthropometric group, (āˆž) when OB is different from OW in the same age group
