Abstract
The high burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors in adolescents in low-income and middle-income countries is a global health concern. Data suggest that cardiovascular disease risk factors present during adolescence might persist during adulthood2,3 and that clustering of these risk factors leads to early atherosclerosis.3,4 Therefore, adolescence represents a clear window of opportunity for cardiovascular disease risk assessment and promotion of lifestyles that will affect progression of cardiovascular disease.
