a
TC levels were significantly higher in children with a family history of CVD than in children without a family history of CVD (p=0.046).
b
TG levels were significantly higher in children with a family history of HTN than in children without a family history of HTN (p=0.027).
*
Family CVD history×BMI category interaction, p=0.034.
**
Family history×BMI category interaction, p=0.068.
CVD, cardiovascular disease; UW, underweight; HW, healthy weight; OW, overweight; OB, obese; TC, total cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; TG, triglyceride; HTN, hypertension.
