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
Interrelations Between Brachial Endothelial Function and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Young Adults The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
Markus Juonala,Jorma Viikari,Tomi Laitinen,Jukka Marniemi,Hans Helenius,Tapani Rönnemaa,Olli T. Raitakari +6 more
TL;DR: Brachial FMD is inversely associated with carotid IMT and the number of risk factors in young adults is correlated with increased IMT in subjects with evidence of endothelial dysfunction, but not in Subjects with preserved endothelial function.
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
Age and gender dependency of baroreflex sensitivity in healthy subjects
TL;DR: It is concluded that physiological factors, particularly age and gender, have significant impact on BRS in healthy subjects and values that have been proposed to be useful in identifying postinfarction patients at high risk of sudden death are frequently found inhealthy subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Age on Associations Between Childhood Risk Factors and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Adulthood The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study, the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health Study, the Bogalusa Heart Study, and the Muscatine Study for the International Childhood Cardiovascular Cohort (i3C) Consortium

TL;DR: In this paper, the age when childhood risk exposure begins to relate to adult atherosclerosis may have implications for pediatric cardiovasculopathy, which has its roots in childhood.
