Abstract

The foremost causes of death in developed and developing countries both are cardiovascular disorders. Higher concentration of lipids in pre term neonates may increase their future risk of cardiovascular diseases. Early diagnosis and dietary modifications and proper management may rectify the risk factors and prevent future risk of cardiovascular disease. Our study aims to compare lipid profiles and atherogenic index in the cord blood of pre-term and full-term neonates. It is a retrospective and observational study conducted for a period of one year from December 2018 to November 2019 in the Departments of Biochemistry and Gynecology of Santosh Medical College and Hospitals, Ghaziabad and K D Medical College Hospital and Research center. Among 60 neonates including 30 (50%) term and 30 (50%) preterm, TC, TG, LDL, VLDL, were raised in preterm when compared to term babies while HDL level was significantly increased (<0.05) in a term as compared to preterm babies. This study supports inverse relation between gestational age and lipid profile and this deranged lipid profile preterm group could be a threat or among factors for the future development of Atherosclerotic and cardiovascular diseases in their former part of life.
