The levels of atherogenic lipid fractions are higher in children with a family history of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CD). This study was designed to examine this relationship in neonates. A total of 1276 newborns were investigated; 400 cord blood samples were collected for measurement of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C); on day 4, 1200 capillary samples were taken for TC and TG measurements. Male newborns with a positive history of CD had higher concentrations of cord blood TC (P less than 0.04) and LDL-C (P less than 0.02). On day 4 this difference in TC was no longer detectable (LDL-C not determined). A coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factor family history is sensitive (0.87) in predicting high cord blood concentrations of LDL-C, the specificity being 0.46 and the positive predicting value 0.08.
