Introduction: For transgender women (TW), previous exposed to male puberty, on long-term estrogen therapy, the knowledge about the lipid profile is important since it impacts on cardiovascular risk. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 15 TW (34.2 +/- years old), 14 CW and 13 CM. The TW received hormone therapy for 14.4 +/- 3.5 years. The IPAQ was used to measure the level of physical activity. Body composition was assessed by an InBody 720 device. The subjects (TW, CW and CM) were classified into five categories (sedentary, insufficiently active A and B, active and very active) according to IPAQ recommendations. Results: Age (years) TW: 34.2 SD +/- 5.2; CW: 35.6 SD +/- 4.1 and CM: 36.7 SD +/- 3.8. BMI (kg/m2) TW 25.5 SD +/- 2.8, CW 23.1 SD +/- 3.3 and CM 26.3 SD +/- 3,0. Total testosterone (ng/dL) TW 18.0 (range 12-637), CW 19 (range 12-40.1) and CM 524 (SD+/- 169). Median total cholesterol analysis (mg/dL): TW 154 SD +/- 33.0, CW 177 SD +/- 18.7 and CM 173 SD +/- 23.0 (p>0.05 in all subanalyses), HDL (mg/dL) TW: 46.5 SD +/- 10.9; CW:67.0 SD +/- 15.6 and CM: 46.5 SD +/- 9.8 p value <0.05; significant difference between TW and CW; between CW and CM; LDL (mg/dL) TW: 93 SD +/- 30.4; CW 94.5 SD +/- 14.2 and CM 104 SD +/- 22.0. The % FAt mass of TW was lower than that of CW (29.5±5.7 vs 32.9±5.7; p>0.05) and higher than that of CM (20.2±5.7; p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the level of physical activity between the groups (TW vs CW, p>0.05; TW vs CM, p>0.05; CW vs CM, p>0.05), with most participants being active or very active in all groups. Discussion: studies show that in the first few months of estrogen therapy HDLc increases about 10%. Conclusion: after long term on estrogen therapy, TW present HDLc pattern similar to CM, different of the usually observed in the first months analyses. Presentation: Saturday, June 17, 2023
