Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between maternal restrictive feeding practices and children's weight, revealing a bidirectional association where a child's weight influences how restrictive mothers are with feeding.
- Data from 4689 mother-child pairs in the Generation R study provided insights into children's body composition and feeding practices over time, utilizing measurements of BMI, fat mass, and maternal concerns.
- The findings suggest that higher child BMI at age 4 predicts more restrictive feeding by age 10, with mothers' concerns about their child's weight partially mediating this relationship, indicating that restrictive feeding is more likely a response to a child's weight rather than a cause.
Objective: Familial hypercholesterolemia is characterized by high plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and premature coronary heart disease. Despite the monogenetic origin of familial hypercholesterolemia, the incidence of coronary heart disease varies considerably among patients, which is only partly explained by classical risk factors. Hypertension is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease that is associated with angiotensinogen levels.
