Objectives: The objectives of this study were to identify nutritional status and associate it with metabolic alterations in adolescent girls. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study that included adolescent 10\u201314-year-old girls from public schools. The research was undertaken with 79 girls. Results: We identified that over half of the girls were sedentary, excessively exposed to screens, physically inactive, and did not practice physical activities in sunlight. The menarche age was significantly lower in girls with overweight and obesity. Most girls skipped breakfast (53.1%) and watched television (84.8%). We observed a high percentage of adolescents with overweight (65.7%), hypovitaminosis D (78.4%) and high levels of triglycerides (69.6%). We did not find an association between hypovitaminosis D and some recorded metabolic parameters (glycemia, glycated hemoglobin, insulin, total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c and triglycerides). However, insulin levels, HOMA-IR, HDL-c, and systolic blood pressure were significantly associated with overweight and obesity, and our results may reflect the characteristics of the study sample and suggest that obese children may already exhibit early signs and risk factors for these chronic diseases during childhood, consistent with national and international data. Conclusions: The identification of metabolic alterations, nutritional status and lifestyle enables early and directed interventions, which may lead to the present and future cardiometabolic health improvements relative to adolescents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18152500","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]],"date-time":"2026-08-03T06:17:40Z","timestamp":1785737860000},"page":"2500","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cardiometabolic and Biochemical Indicators in Adolescent Girls According to Nutritional Status and Lifestyle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"K\u00e1tia Gianlupi","family":"Lopes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Health and Development in the Mid-West Region, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande 79070-900, MS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorraine Aparecida","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prefeitura Municipal de Dourados, Departamento de Aten\u00e7\u00e3o Prim\u00e1ria, Dourados 79830-220, MS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4330-8553","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabela Rezende","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Nutrition, Federation University of Santa Catarina, Florian\u00f3polis 88040-900, SC, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8599-9276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arnildo","family":"Pott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biosciences, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul-UFMS, Campo Grande 79079-900, MS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rita de C\u00e1ssia Avellaneda","family":"Guimar\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Health and Development in the Mid-West Region, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande 79070-900, MS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valter Arag\u00e3o do","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Health and Development in the Mid-West Region, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande 79070-900, MS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Albert Schiaveto de","family":"Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Health and Development in the Mid-West Region, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande 79070-900, MS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovana Eliza","family":"Pegolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Food and Nutrition, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande 79070-900, MS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5813-6088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karine de C\u00e1ssia","family":"Freitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Health and Development in the Mid-West Region, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande 79070-900, MS, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.1017\/S0029665123002689","article-title":"Adolescent nutrition and health: Characteristics, risk factors and opportunities of an overlooked life stage","volume":"82","author":"Heslin","year":"2023","journal-title":"Proc.
