TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the utility of four categorical definitions of youth MetS and their components in predicting adult high carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among 1781 participants aged 9 to 18 years at baseline (1984 to 1988) who were then examined 14 to 27 years later (2001-2007) when aged 24 to 41 years.

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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the associations of age and sex with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), CAC, and brachial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) in young healthy adults were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conventional Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Metabolic Syndrome in Predicting Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Progression in Young Adults The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study

TL;DR: Obesity, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high insulin level predicted IMT progression in young adults, and there was no evidence that MetS would predictIMT progression more than expected from the sum of its risk components.
