Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: in this prospective cohort study, childhood cardiovascular risk factors and the change in the combined-risk z score between childhood and adulthood were associated with cardiovascular events in midlife.

Reviewers´ commentary: cardiovascular risk factors in childhood can lead to related disease and death in young adults. It should be considered a health priority to promote education programs for the primary prevention of cardiovascular risk factors in childhood and adolescence to reduce morbidity and mortality and the economic impact that cardiovascular disease has on society.
