Methods: A total of 2295 lactating women subjects were included in this study, all within 2 years postpartum. All samples were from \u201cChina Children and Lactating Mothers Nutritional Health Surveillance (2016\u20132017)\u201d. BMI, blood lipids, demographic information, lifestyle habits, and other serum indicators were obtained in this survey. Generalized linear model, logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) and ROC curve analysis were used to evaluate the relationship among BMI, blood lipids, and dyslipidemia. Results: BMI in lactating women was positively correlated with total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), but negatively correlated with high-density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL-C) (p &lt; 0.05). Higher BMI in lactating women was associated with higher ORs of dyslipidemia (hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high-LDL-cholesterolemia, low HDL-cholesterolemia) (p &lt; 0.05). These associations were stable across age groups, breastfeeding child age (months), parity, physical activity level, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and hemoglobin. These factors did not interact with this relationship (p &gt; 0.05). The optimal cut-off point for BMI was 24.85 kg\/m2 determined by using ROC analysis, which can distinguish the risk of dyslipidemia. Conclusions: BMI was positively correlated with risk of dyslipidemia. Maintaining an ideal weight may prevent dyslipidemia in lactating women, and BMI is recommended to be controlled below 24.85 kg\/m2.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14235174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]],"date-time":"2022-12-05T06:29:09Z","timestamp":1670221749000},"page":"5174","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["The Effect of BMI on Blood Lipids and Dyslipidemia in Lactating Women"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6631-5254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lianlong","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Jinan 250014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8775-294X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaohui","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Jinan 250014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yantai Economic & Technological Development Area Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Yantai 264006, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liyong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Nutrition, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan 250012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shixiu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan 250012, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanmo","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Jinan 250014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meina","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shijiazhuang 050021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Changqing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shijiazhuang 050021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyan","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hebei Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Shijiazhuang 050021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yiya","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guizhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Guiyang 550004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"C81","DOI":"10.7326\/AITC201712050","article-title":"Dyslipidemia","volume":"167","author":"Kopin","year":"2017","journal-title":"Ann.
