Abstract
There is a "trajectory" of cardiovascular risk factors from childhood to adulthood, and cardiovascular disease in adulthood originates in childhood. Several childhood cardiovascular follow-up cohorts have been established at home and abroad and participants have been followed up to middle-age or early old-age period, which have provided evidence support for prevention of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. However, at present, Chinese residents are in nutritional transition period. Given the evolving socio-economic context in China and the differences in growth and development patterns between contemporary Chinese children and western children or Chinese children in the 1990s, it is necessary to establish new childhood cardiovascular follow-up cohorts with Chinese features, to inform prevention of cardiovascular disease in Chinese adults.
