Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the USA despite improvement in mortality over several decades [1]. Studies such as the Bogalusa and Muscatine studies in the USA and the Cardiovascular Disease in Young Finns and Childhood Determinants of Adult Health (CDAH) internationally have demonstrated that the risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease begins in childhood and progresses through adolescence and young adulthood to produce adverse outcomes later in life [2–5]. These studies also confirm that the traditional risk factors that have been a focus in adults are also important for children and adolescents. These risk factors include obesity, diabetes, elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia and cigarette smoking.
