Family history of myocardial infarction, stroke and diabetes and cardiometabolic markers in children

Conclusions/interpretation One-third of the children had a strong family history of CVD and/or diabetes. These children had higher TC levels and TC/HDLC ratios than children with no family history. A strong family history of MI or diabetes was independently associated with unfavourable cardiometabolic markers specific to those diseases.
