چکیده
Dear Editor, Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the leading cause of global mortality, accounting for almost 17 million deaths annually. 1 Therefore, CVD is responsible for a substantial amount of money spent by health care systems for its treatment, and treatment of its symptoms. Although, CVD events occur most frequently during or after the fifth decade of life, there is evidence indicating that the precursors of CVD have origins in childhood. 2

متن کاملLow cardiorespiratory fitness is a strong predictor for clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors in children independent of country, age and sex.
BACKGROUND AND DESIGN Few studies have investigated the association between maximal cardiorespiratory capacity (fitness) and the clustered cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in children and youth from culturally diverse countries. This cross-sectional study examined the association between fitness and clustered CVD risk in children and adolescents from three European countries. METHODS Partici...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between parental BMI and offspring cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study comprised 940 children (9.5 +/- 0.4 years) and 873 adolescents (15.5 +/- 0.5 years). Parental weight and height were reported by the mother and the father, and BMI was calculated. CVD risk factors included total (sum of five skinfolds) and ce...
