Øyri LKL, Bogsrud MP, Kristiansen AL, et al. - Researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to describe total cholesterol (TC) in Norwegian offspring aged 6, 12 and 24 months, and to explore whether maternal TC, breastfeeding and offspring diet are correlated with offspring TC. For this analysis, mothers of offspring aged 6 (n = 629), 12 (n = 258) and 24 (n = 263) months completed a diet questionnaire and collected home-based dried blood spot samples from themselves and their offspring. Breastfeeding was positively linked to offspring TC at ages 6 and 12 months, but not at age 24 months. The wide range of TC and the likely tracking of TC from infancy to later life emphasises the importance of identifying children with elevated TC who can benefit from preventive measures early on.
