Childhood cardiometabolic risk factors associated with the perinatal environment of the maternal–paternal–child triad
Authors' conclusion
Dietary and exercise interventions prior to conception targeting paternal adiposity and dyslipidaemia as well as maternal dietary habits could decrease children's cardiometabolic risk in later life.
Study context
- Population
- Maternal–paternal–child triads from a longitudinal cohort, recalled at child age 5 years
- Participants
- 68 triads
- Outcome
- Clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors (two or more) in the child
- Follow-up
- Age 5 years
Methodological detailslongitudinal, best subset selection, linear and logistic regression
- Longitudinal
- Best subset selection
- Linear and logistic regression
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Odds of offspring having ≥2 cardiometabolic risk factors
- Increased paternal fat mass, serum LDL and TG, maternal dietary added sugar and female sex were associated with increased odds of offspring having ≥2 cardiometabolic risk factors (best subset modelling)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
