Introduction: Excess body fat is related to changes in lipid profile, which, in turn, is considered an important risk factor for chronic noncommunicable diseases. Objective: To evaluate nutritional status, body composition and to verify their association with lipid profile and blood pressure in adolescents. Material and methods: We have evaluated 302 adolescents of both genders, aged 15 to 17 years, from public and private schools in the city of Juiz de Fora, MG. Participants were divided into four groups: group 1 (eutrophic adolescents with normal body fat percentage), group 2 (eutrophic patients with high fat percentage), group 3 (overweight adolescents with high fat percentage), and group 4 (obese with high fat percentage). Anthropometric assessment, body composition, lipid profile analysis and blood pressure measurement were performed. Statistical tests T'Student or ANOVA and Mann-Whitney or Kruskall Wallis were used to compare groups according to the distribution of variables, considering significance level (p<0.05). Results: Noticed that 74.83% of the subjects had a high percentage of body fat, mostly female adolescents (57.97%). Even eutrophic, 52.6% of adolescents had a high percentage of body fat. The largest change in lipid profile was increased total cholesterol (40.3%), reduced HDL-C (27.8%), increased triglyceride (13.9%) and increased LDL-C (13.2%). The adolescents with excess body fat, even with adequate BMI, presented high values ​​of total cholesterol, LDL-c, triglycerides and diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: The unfavorable lipid profile is more related to the percentage of total body fat than to the nutritional status classification according to BMI. Therefore, intensification of health promotion actions is essential in order to reduce the high rates of cardiovascular disease in the future.
