“…Sowmiya S et al conducted a study in which it was concluded that for predicting the preterm labor, the measurement of serum total cholesterol and triglycerides along with other measures like clinical and serum screening of Alpha fetoprotein and inhibin A can potentially be used. 10…”

Background: Premature infant is the most important outcome of preterm delivery and is also the cause for infant mortality after congenital abnormality. Around the world, there are 3.6 million per year neonatal deaths, of which in developing countries, 99% deaths are observed. This study was conducted to evaluate the elevated triglycerides and cholesterol relationship on preterm labor risk.Methods: 350 healthy pregnant women were included in the study group in the age group of 18-36 years, their gestational age was confirmed either by last menstrual period or by ultrasound. This study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Osmania University, Hyderabad, Telangana India.Results: The good outcomes were observed in mothers with normal cholesterol values and preterm deliveries were observed in 32.14% of mothers with abnormal cholesterol values. 0.3% of mothers with normal triglyceride values and 75% of mothers with abnormal values had preterm delivery. P value difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions: By measuring serum total cholesterol and triglycerides, along with serum screening of α-fetoprotein and inhibin A, it can be used to predict the preterm labour.

“…A combined increase in cholesterol and triglyceride levels in pregnant mothers has been shown to be a predictor of preterm labor 15 . Further, a low birth weight (which can be caused by premature birth as a result of preterm labor) can lead to complications during adult ages, including chronic diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic disease, and cardiovascular disease 16 .…”

Cardiac risk factors in childhood are often overlooked in clinical practice, however cardiac risk factors can start before the child is even born. Maternal factors including diet, genetics, and smoking during gestation can all impact the long-term cardiac health of the offspring. Atherosclerosis starts as early as fetal life and can continue to develop in children with risks including high cholesterol. Current guidelines for screening of cholesterol in children, while improving in recent years, still allows years of damage to accumulate before identifying those at risk. Additionally, intervention for cholesterol and other known risks in children and adolescents are often avoided or started later than necessary for optimal cardiac health. Non-pharmacological approaches like diet and exercise for cholesterol and health management can be implemented very early in life, while many pharmacological options are approved for use in certain conditions as early as ages 8 to 10. Combating cardiac disease reaching endemic levels in the developed world will take an aggressive approach in management starting with identification early in life and utilizing the appropriate tools available, both medical and lifestyle.

“…Mudd et al [3], a prospective cohort study, included 1309 subjects with a mean age of 20 -30 years, 26% belonged to the obese category & 24.5% had a preterm delivery, concluded high total cholesterol, LDL, Triglycerides increased the risk of preterm delivery. Sowmiya et al [4] recruited 400 pregnant women, of which 5.75% had a preterm delivery, and concluded that increased cholesterol and triglycerides were associated with higher preterm deliveries. Sumathy et al [6].…”

“…One of the main goals of antenatal care is to make sure that the mother completes the term before delivering and that the birth weight of the newborn is optimum as these have effects on the newborn, and mother [4]. Even after the advances in research, the biological cause of preterm birth remains unknown.…”

Background:Pregnancy is the physiological process in a woman's reproductive life. Though all pregnancies carry a risk, almost all pregnancies go uneventfully. In normal pregnancy, as the gestation advances, there is a physiological rise in triglycerides and cholesterol. Hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia are markers of preterm labor, as atherosis of uteroplacental spiral arteries can result in preterm labor.
