“Bad” cholesterol and fat levels in a newborn’s blood can  predict a child’s psychological and social health when they reach the age of 5, according to a new study conducted by Ian Gotlib, professor of psychology at Stanford University. “It is surprising that from so early in life, these easily accessible and commonly examined markers of blood lipid levels have this predictive correlation for future psychological outcomes,” details lead author Erika Manczak, who worked as a reasearcher part of   Gotlib’s lab and is currently an assistant professor of psychology at Denver University. Researchers analyzed a data, about babies  born in Bradford . In Bradford, the sixth-largest city in the United Kingdom, the project contained children born between March 2007 and December 2010, as well as their parents, to learn more about prevalent childhood illnesses along with mental and social development. The results found that kids with the more favorable psychological indicators had higher HDL(good cholesterol) and lower LDL(bad cholesterol) or triglycerides at birth than children who scored lower in these traits. This development is critical as we as society have to provide children from a young age with healthy nutrition and mental environment to prevent mental and physical illnesses in the future.
