Interaction of intrauterine Zika virus exposure on the relationship between body adiposity and dyslipidemia in school-aged children
Intrauterine ZIKV exposure influences the relationship between adiposity and lipid profile in children. Central adiposity measures including waist circumference, neck circumference, and BMI-provide complementary information for early metabolic risk assessment. These findings highlight the importance of longitudinal monitoring of children exposed to ZIKV <i>in utero</i> to detect early metabolic alterations and guide preventive interventions.
