Cardiovascular risk factors in childhood and carotid artery intima-media thickness in adulthood: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.
Olli T. Raitakari,Markus Juonala,Mika Kähönen,Leena Taittonen,Tomi Laitinen,Noora Mäki-Torkko,Mikko J. Järvisalo,Matti Uhari,Eero Jokinen,Tapani Rönnemaa,Hans K. Åkerblom,Jorma Viikari +11 more
TL;DR: Risk factor profile assessed in 12- to 18-year-old adolescents predicts adult common carotid artery IMT independently of contemporaneous risk factors, suggesting that exposure to cardiovascular risk factors early in life may induce changes in arteries that contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cohort profile: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
Olli T. Raitakari,Markus Juonala,Tapani Rönnemaa,Liisa Keltikangas-Järvinen,Leena Räsänen,M. Pietikäinen,Nina Hutri-Kähönen,Leena Taittonen,Eero Jokinen,Jukka Marniemi,Antti Jula,Risto Telama,Mika Kähönen,Terho Lehtimäki,Hans K. Åkerblom,Jorma Viikari +15 more
TL;DR: The latest examination of the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study was performed in 2001, when the participants were young adults, aged 24–39 years, and the 27-year follow-up field studies are being conducted, and will be completed in the beginning of 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking of Serum Lipid Levels, Blood Pressure, and Body Mass Index from Childhood to Adulthood: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.
Jonna Juhola,Costan G. Magnussen,Costan G. Magnussen,Jorma S. A. Viikari,Mika Kähönen,Nina Hutri-Kähönen,Antti Jula,Terho Lehtimäki,Hans K. Åkerblom,Matti Pietikäinen,Tomi Laitinen,Eero Jokinen,Leena Taittonen,Olli T. Raitakari,Markus Juonala +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined tracking and predictiveness of childhood lipid levels, blood pressure, and body mass index for risk profile in adulthood and the best age to measure the childhood risk factor levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The American Heart Association defined a new concept, cardiovascular health, and determined metrics needed to monitor it over time as part of its 2020 Impact Goal definition as discussed by the authors, which was defined by the AHA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life-time risk factors and progression of carotid atherosclerosis in young adults: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study.
Markus Juonala,Jorma Viikari,Mika Kähönen,Leena Taittonen,Tomi Laitinen,Nina Hutri-Kähönen,Terho Lehtimäki,Antti Jula,M. Pietikäinen,Eero Jokinen,Risto Telama,Leena Räsänen,Vera Mikkilä,Hans Helenius,Mika Kivimäki,Olli T. Raitakari +15 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that children with risk factors have increased Atherosclerosis progression rate in adulthood, and support the idea that the prevention of atherosclerosis by means of life style could be effective when initiated in childhood.
