Childhood physical, environmental, and genetic predictors of adult hypertension: the cardiovascular risk in young Finns study.
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a major modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. The present longitudinal study aimed to examine the best combination of childhood physical and environmental factors to predict adult hypertension and furthermore whether newly identified genetic variants for blood pressure increase the prediction of adult hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS The study cohort included 2625...
متن کاملRisk factors for cardiovascular diseases and smoking pattern: Cross-sectional analysis of the initial phase data of the Ravansar cohort study
Background & Aim: Smoking is an important individual risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which in combination with other risk factors may also increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions. In this study, the effect of CVD risk factors has been investigated on different levels of smoking. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was performed using the baseline data of Ravansar Non-Co...
متن کاملPopulation Attributable Risk (PAR) of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) Risk Factors; Bayesian Methods
Background & Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in most countries. By identifying the population attributable risk (PAR) of the main risk factors of CVDs, the overall effect of various exposures on a population can be determined; the findings could be used in CVD prevention. The present study aimed to explore the PAR of some factors, includin...
متن کاملPrediction of Adult Dyslipidemia Using Genetic and Childhood Clinical Risk Factors: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We examined whether the addition of novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms for blood lipid levels enhances the prediction of adult dyslipidemia in comparison to childhood lipid measures. METHODS AND RESULTS Two thousand four hundred and twenty-two participants of the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study w...
متن کاملEpidemiology and Prevention Ideal Cardiovascular Health in Childhood and Cardiometabolic Outcomes in Adulthood The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
Background—The American Heart Association (AHA) defined a new concept, cardiovascular health, and determined metrics needed to monitor it over time as part of its 2020 Impact Goal definition. Ideal cardiovascular health is defined by the presence of both ideal health behaviors and ideal health factors. The applicability of this concept to a cohort of children and its relationship with cardiomet...
