Key result
A higher number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics present in childhood was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension in adulthood (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.52-0.85; P<0.001).

Does the number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics in childhood reduce the risk of adverse cardiometabolic outcomes in adulthood?
Effect estimate: OR 0.66 (95% CI 0.52-0.85)
p-value: p=<0.001
Having a higher number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics in childhood is associated with a significantly reduced risk of adverse cardiometabolic outcomes in adulthood.
Laitinen et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular health (n=856). Ideal cardiovascular health metrics was evaluated on Hypertension (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.52-0.85, p=<0.001). A higher number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics present in childhood was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension in adulthood (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.52-0.85; P<0.001).
