Abstract | AIM: The intra-uterine environment affects the risk of development of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of prematurity and foetal growth restriction on lipid metabolism, by assessing atherogenic indices soon after birth in preterm infants. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: In preterm infants, prematurity and poor foetal growth may influence lipid and apolipoprotein metabolism and affect atherogenic indices at birth.
