A small subgroup of @entity1 , whose parents have suffered a @entity299 in their late thirties and early forties, may be at particularly high @entity65 . University Hospital "Split" gives tertiary health care to some 700,000 @entity1 in southern Croatia and treats about 300 acute @entity583 per year, with a 3-5% share in the age under 45 years. This cross-sectional, clinical and laboratory study included all the @entity1 below the age limit of 45 years, treated for acute @entity583 between 1990 and 1995, complexively 55 of them, and their natural @entity1 , 97 all in all. The results were compared to those of a stratified @entity1 's sample taken from the population of the same region. The relative weight, blood pressure, and plasma @entity165 were significantly higher in these @entity1 than in the control group (p < 0.05). In 50 of these offspring (51.5%), in addition to the obviously positive family history, detected were further @entity65 factors, defined as values above the 95th distribution percentile for age and gender. The average blood pressure, relative weight and @entity165 levels were even higher in these, "risky" @entity1 than in the studied sample (p < 0.05), and much more elevated than in the matching control pupils (p < 0.001). The most often detected risk factors were elevated @entity165 (in 44%), arterial @entity101 (in 40%), @entity28 (in 32%), and smoking (in 24%). Most of the @entity1 (64%) had only one additional risk factor, while in the remaining 36% the most prevalent risk factors were overweight (in 14 out of 18) and arterial @entity101 (in 11 out of 18). It is concluded that @entity65 factor screening among @entity1 with a positive family history of premature @entity731 is appropriate and cost-effective.

Premature parental XXXX is heralding elevated risk in their offspring.
