New work led by Izzuddin Aris highlights a pivotal period for improving cardiovascular health in children. Read more in JAMA Cardiology: https://lnkd.in/ecR9S2JT
A new study led by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute's Izzuddin Aris sheds light on the trajectory of cardiovascular health (CVH) early in life, which may contribute to CVH disparities in adulthood. Dr. Aris, a member of the Division of Chronic Disease Research Across the Lifecourse (CoRAL), and his research team found that CVH scores start to decline around age 10 across all demographic groups, driven by health behaviors rather than health factors. They note that this decline may reflect social and/or developmental changes that typically occur at this age—such as changes in school schedules that may interfere with meeting guidelines for healthy sleep duration and/or diet—and may affect health behaviors. They suggest that improving these health behaviors, especially between mid-childhood and early adolescence, could help optimize CVH.
