Abstract
Objective: The study aims to determine the association between apo B levels in mothers and their pre-school offspring.
Methods: Anthropometric measurement (e.g. BMI), lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins (e.g. apo B) levels in mothers and their children were obtained in November 2015 in Buenos Aires.
Results: Eighty-four children (42M) aged 5.3±1.6 years and their mothers aged 33.8±7.2 years were examined. The prevalence of overweight was 39.2 % (33) in mothers and 22.6 % (19) in children, and the prevalence of obesity was 38.1% (32) in mothers and 10.7% (9) in children. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that maternal apo B levels were associated with apo B levels in their offspring, adjusted for confounding variables (Beta=0.29; p=0.03; R2=0.25). Furthermore, offspring born to mothers with high apo B levels were six times likelier to have high apo B levels (OR), 5.7; (95% CI 1.3-25.5).
Conclusion: This study suggests that maternal apo B levels were significantly associated with apo B concentration in their pre-school age children.
Keywords: Cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, apo B, pre-school children, mothers, BMI.

Medicinal Plants with Beneficial Properties on Diabetes and Hypertension
Diabetes and hypertension are real scourges of the 21st century. It is imperative to act in order to find innovative solutions to this problem. Taking medications such as hypoglycemic and antihypertensive drugs may aggravate certain underlying comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. This significant drawback therefore requires ...read more
