Associations of growth trajectories from birth to two years of age with adolescent blood pressure: the mediating role of current BMI in the follow-up of an antenatal micronutrient supplementation trial
Key Points
Higher blood pressure in adolescence is associated with specific growth trajectories from birth to two years.
Current body mass index mediates the relationship, with a clear link to growth patterns.
Observational analysis of data from an antenatal micronutrient supplementation trial highlights these associations.
Understanding these links supports the importance of early nutrition in preventing future health issues.
