ABSTRACT IMPORTANCE: Recent evidence suggests that childhood levels of serum lipids, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and smoking contribute to adult risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Evidence is lacking on whether this is independent of adult risk levels. OBJECTIVE: To quantify…

Clin Chem. 2024 Jun 22:hvae087. doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvae087. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Primary prevention is the cornerstone of cardiometabolic health. In the randomized, controlled Special Turku Coronary Risk Factor Intervention Project (STRIP), dietary counseling intervention was given to children from infancy to 20 years of age and a follow-up…

BMJ Open. 2024 May 28;14(5):e078428. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-078428. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Adolescence is a sensitive period for cardiometabolic health. Yet, it remains unknown if adolescent health behaviours, such as alcohol use, smoking, diet and physical activity, have differential effects across socioeconomic strata. Adopting a life-course perspective and a causal inference framework, we…
