Abstract :

Cardiovascular diseases are known to cause mortality and morbidity in large number worldwide. Modern serenditary lifestyle, eating habits, smoking ,alcohol, obesity are all modifiable well known factors to cause CVD. Relationship between genetics and maternal factors like nutrition, hypercholesterolemia, mode of delivery, preeclampsiawith cord blood lipids and lipoprotiens can not be ignored. Studies are now emerging showing prematurity as a risk factor causing altered lipid profile and predesposition to CVDs earlier in life. We are further adding up the results via this study. Also we have compared the lipid profile between AGA’s and SGA’s from both preterm and term neonates.
