| Popis: | Cardiovascular Risk at Early Ages Cardiovascular events that occur before or during the fifth decade of life in men and the sixth in women are considered to be early; however, the initial atherosclerotic lesions that lead to clinical events occur much earlier and can be seen in childhood. 1 Metabolic cardiovascular risk factors, such as dyslipidemia or obesity, can be seen in the first and second decades of life. Studies in autopsies of children correlating artery morphology with cardiovascular risk factors have shown that after age, dyslipidemia (both increased cholesterol of low-density lipoproteins [LDL-C] or decreased cholesterol of highdensity lipoproteins [HDL-C]) is an extremely important factor for the development of arteriosclerosis between the second and third decades and later decades. 2 The relationship between insulin resistance and diabetes with early development of fatty streaks in arteries has also been demonstrated. 3 Given the proven relationship between cardiovascular risk factors in childhood and adolescence and its continuance into adulthood, and screening prevention should be started as early as possible. |
