Objectives: To describe the clinical and nutritional aspects of two patients with FH. Methods: Data were collected from medical records, which were tabulated in Excel spreadsheets. Weight, height, arm circumference, waist circumference and triceps and subscapular skinfolds were measured and a simplified food frequency questionnaire was applied for anthropometric and nutritional assessment. Results: One male homozygous case (FHHo-­case 1) and one female heterozygous case (FHHe-­case 2) were evaluated and distinct characteristics were observed in each case. The case 1 had maximum LDL­-c levels, with 760 mg / dL, but responded to therapy with significant LDL-­c levels decrease, and presents tuberous xanthomas and corneal arches. He was diagnosed with malnutrition, his growth curve showed thinness in the parameter BMI/age and adequate intake of food markers for cardiovascular risk was recorded. The case 2 presented a maximum level of LDL-­c 256 mg/dL, firstly diagnosed with central precocious puberty, eutrophy according to anthropometry and excessive intake of food markers for cardiovascular risk. Conclusion: For the evaluated patients, the diet does not seem to be sufficient to contain LDL-­c levels, however must be paid attention to the dietary management of these patients. In addition more clinical- nutritional studies are needed on this disease.Acesso AbertoHiperlipoproteinemia tipo IIAvaliação nutricionalAntropometriaHyperlipoproteinemia type IINutrition assessmentAnthropometryCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRICAOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
