Childhood predictors of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Abstract: Childhood obesity predicts the risk of adult adiposity, which is associated with the earlier onset of cardiovascular disease [adult atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, ACVD: hypertension, increased carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) stroke, ischemic heart disease (IHD)] and dysglycaemia. Because it is not known whether childhood obesity contributes to these diseases, we conducted a systematic review of studies that examine the ability of measures of obesity in childhood to predict dysglycaemia and ACVD.… Show more

“…This higher prevalence of dyslipidemia observed in our study may be partly explained by the fact that 69.5% of the adolescents were overweight, which is a risk factor for dyslipidemia and because self-reported change in lipid profile was an inclusion criterion. The presence of dyslipidemia in childhood and adolescence may indicate a higher risk of developing CVD, since there is a tendency for these young people to maintain similar profiles in adulthood [18,19]. Lower levels of HDL-C observed in overweight adolescents are consistent with published reports that show secondary dyslipidemia arising from obesity, with reduction in HDL-C [20].…”

“…Whether our observation of patterns of BMI gain linked to adverse body composition in adolescence will lead to disease, remains to be seen. Longitudinal cohort data on growth, body composition, and adult disease risk are currently sparse and follow‐up studies warranted …”

“…Childhood and adolescent obesity is associated with increased risk of adult morbidity, especially cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes type 2. Prolonged duration of obesity is also a strong predictor of CVD and diabetes .…”

“…Our previous study showed that BMI is the strongest determinant for cardiovascular risk factors. Many studies have evaluated the association between contributing factors for childhood obesity with risk factors of chronic diseases, separately [10][11][12] ; however, the current study provides a comprehensive model including different determinants all together.…”

“…Many studies have evaluated the association between predisposing factors including lifestyle habits, exposure to environmental chemicals, socioeconomic status, and chronic diseases. [10][11][12] Therefore, this study aimed to assess the interplay between lifestyle habits and BMI as well as risk factors for cardiometabolic, hepatic, and renal disorders to define the causality power of each item influencing obesity and also to determine the strength of its associations with cardiovascular, renal, and hepatic risk factors.…”
