Abstract
The age where the girls need additional nutrition for the development for their body is termed as adolescence. Childhood undernourishment is
considered as a concerned issue in India, especially in slums. Considering the undernourishment, major lipoproteins like, total cholesterol (Tc), low
density lipoprotein (LDL-c), high density lipoproteins (HDL-c), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-c) and triglycerides (TG) were estimated for
nutritional status in the adolescent population also pertaining its use as a screening method for disease diagnosis. The study comprised 50 healthy
and 50 underprivileged Adolescents as group II and 2 respectively within the age of 14-18 years. The study parameters were evaluated and the
results indicated signicant difference in both the study groups.
