ABSTRACT

Introduction: in most cases atherosclerosis is a silent chronic condition whose presence is generally unknown by both the patient and their family. It often starts with a big atherosclerotic crisis (sudden death, acute myocardial infarction or cerebral hemorrhage). In recent decades it has been found to be the main cause of death, hospital morbidity, invalidity, disability and loss of quality of life in both developed and developing countries.
Objective: identify early atherosclerotic signals (EAS) among school-age children with a history of macrosomia or high birth weight.
Methods: a descriptive case-control study was conducted with children born at "Ramón González Coro" maternity hospital. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. A medical record was developed which included personal details, personal and family pathological antecedents, dietary information and birth-related data. A thorough physical examination was performed, including an anthropometric study and blood pressure measurements. Humoral studies such as glycemia, cholesterol, cholesterol esters and triglycerides were indicated.
Results: in the study group 43.57% of the patients had EAS and 56.43% did not. In the control group 41.00% of the patients had EAS and 59.00% did not.
Conclusions: high birth weight is not a predictor of early atherosclerotic signals. The authors are not aware of any previous report about school age, and existing reports do not state whether the patients were macrosomic.
