Abstract：
Familial history of cardiovascular disease is acknowledged as a risk indicator in offspring. The aim of this study was to assess whether the cardiovascular risk factors in parents predicted the risk of their children developing cardiovascular disease in a French population: the STANISLAS Cohort, in which Caucasian biparental families with at least two siblings were followed for 5 years. Silent risk factors (blood pressure, lipid traits, glycemia, BMI and waist circumference) of children were compared according to their parents\' risk status in a subsample of 693 families. All of these traits, with the exception of glucose, were significantly higher in children who had parents at a high risk than in children with parents at a low risk at the first health examination, and these results were confirmed again 5 years later at the second health examination. Thus, silent cardio-metabolic risk factors can be screened in children according to the risk status of their parents for early prevention. The influence of parents\' variants on their offspring underlined the need to initiate familial prevention strategies, with a particular follow-up of young individuals between childhood and adolescence.
