Endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease in childhood obesity
Journal Title: Jornal de Pediatria - Year 2019, Vol 95, Issue 5
Abstract
It is a popular misconception that myocardial infarction and stroke are acute events that strike suddenly and unexpectedly in middle aged and elderly adults. Yet the Bogalusa, Muscatine, Young Finns, and PDAY studies clearly demonstrate that atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive disease that begins in childhood.1 Identification of high-risk children and institution of preventive measures at an early age are therefore imperative.
