Structured PICO

Do parents of children with multiple coronary risk factors have a higher prevalence of coronary risk factors and coronary heart disease compared to parents of children without risk factors?

P
Population
252 parents of 164 children (aged 7 to 18 years) with two or more coronary risk factors, and a control group of 175 parents of 114 children with no risk factors.
C
Comparator
175 parents of 114 children with no coronary risk factors
O
Outcome
Coronary risk factors (lipid parameters, anthropometric parameters, blood pressure) and coronary heart disease (CHD) prevalence in parentssurrogate

The presence of multiple coronary risk factors in children is associated with a higher prevalence of coronary risk factors and ischemic findings in their parents, highlighting the importance of family-based screening.
