.Coordinated Approach to Child Health: From Research to Practice
Grand Rounds Overview.
Conditions that lead to chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, can result from behaviors established during childhood, adolescence, or even gestation. Risk factors (biological and behavioral) can start early in life and risk levels generally progress throughout adulthood. Recent studies of children, adolescents, and young adults (less than 35 years) have demonstrated the close link of blood cholesterol level, blood pressure level, smoking, and obesity with the extent and severity of atherosclerosis among people well below 20 years of age. Promoting excellent cardiovascular health encompasses interventions aimed at individuals at any age, including those whose lifestyles and behavior choices may create a greater risk for cardiovascular disease.
