Abstract

O ST E R A B ST R A C T S (g/m) and as LVM divided by body surface area (g/m). Hypertrophic left ventricle was defined as LVMI>48 g/m for men or LVMI>44 g/m for women. Results: Among the childhood measures, childhood body mass index (BMI r1⁄40.36 p 0. Compared with participants with low BMI and low SBP in childhood (LVMI1⁄430.3 5.5 g/m) and those with high BMI or high SBP in childhood (LVMI1⁄434.7 6.5 g/m), those with high BMI and high SBP in childhood had the greatest mean value of adult LVMI (38.5 7.2 g/m, p<0.001), and 2.3-fold (95% CI: 1.1–4.9) higher risk of abnormal left ventricular geometry (see table) and 3.5-fold (95% CI: 1.1–11.3) higher risk of hypertrophic left ventricle in adulthood. These results were independent of potential confounders in adulthood.
