It has been suggested that individuals with low birth weight have higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Aim of the study was to determine serum lipids and glucose concentrations in newborns with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Results were compared with the same parameters in regular birth weight (RBW) children. We analysed relations of birth weight with history of smoking and positive familial history of cardiovascular diseases among mothers, too. We observed statistically significant higher (p < 0.01) mean concentrations od triglycerides in newborns with IUGR. These children had statistically significant lower (p < 0.01) mean concentrations of HDL-cholesterol. Mothers of IUGR newborns had much frequent (p < 0.01) positive family history of cardiovascular diseases and history of smoking.
