| Abstract | Background: Coronary heart diseases (CAD) and their risk factors are among the major causes of death in Iran. Since these risk factors begin to develop early in life, it is vital to diagnose those newborns at high risk of CAD. Objectives: The present study investigated the umbilical cord blood lipid profile of term and preterm neonates. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the lipid profiles of 292 neonates, of which 276 were term and 16 preterm, were examined at a teaching hospital. Results: The lipid profile results of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, and low density lipoprotein were 69.8, 34.9, 23.6, and 31.5 in term neonates and 80.5, 25.5, 25.1, and 38 in preterm neonates, respectively. Conclusions: According to the current paper, the lipid profiles of eastern Iranian neonates were similar to those reported in global studies. Moreover, except for triglycerides in the female neonates, lipid profiles were significantly higher among the male neonates. | en |
