Influence of Hyperlipidemia in Parents on Plasma Lipid Level,Blood Pressure,Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference in Their Children

Objective To investigate influence of hyperlipidemia in parents on plasma lipid level,blood pressure,body mass index(BMI) and waist circumference(WC)of their children.Methods Eighty children whose parents had been with hyperlipidemia(Group A) and 893 children whose parents had been normal plasma lipid levels(Group B) were studied.BMI,systolic pressure(SP),diastolic pressure(DP),WC,plasma triglyceride(TG),cholesterol(CH),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-c),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-c)of two groups were measured and compared.Results The levels of BMI,TG,TCH,LDL-c,SP,and DP had a increasing trend in group A compared to those of group B.HDL-c in group A had a decreasing trend compared to that of group B.But only the increase of BMI is significant(P0.05).A significant positive correlation between BMI and SP,DP,WC and SP,DP was found(r=0.639,0.529,0.619,0.504 all P0.01) especially;Also,BMI was positively correlated with WC(r=0.890 P0.01).There was a negative correlation between BMI and HDL-c(r=-0.359 P0.01).Conclusion The parents having been with hyperlipidemia have effects on BMI,plasma lipid levels,blood pressure and WC of their children.
