Why the study?
Early life factors may predispose offspring to cardiovascular disease in later life, but their prospective relevance to adult carotid intima-media thickness in healthy populations remained unclear.
Do early life factors affect adult carotid intima-media thickness in a healthy population?
Do early life factors affect adult carotid intima-media thickness in a healthy population?
Advanced maternal age at childbirth is prospectively associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness in healthy adult female offspring.
