Key result
A healthy diet early in life may reduce future cardiovascular disease risk, and maintaining low arterial stiffness from a young age could serve as a potential prevention strategy.
Why the study?
Dietary intake contributes substantially to adult CVD risk, but less is known about its association with markers of cardiovascular health in children.
Does dietary intake affect markers of cardiovascular health in children?

May support early dietary counseling in pediatrics; leaves open prospective trials to confirm long-term CVD benefits.
Does dietary intake affect markers of cardiovascular health in children?
A healthy diet and lifestyle in childhood may improve cardiovascular health markers and potentially reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life.
Saeedi et al. (2019) conducted a review in Cardiovascular health in children. Dietary intake was evaluated on Markers of cardiovascular health including traditional CVD risk factors, physical fitness, and indices of arterial stiffness. A healthy diet early in life may reduce future cardiovascular disease risk, and maintaining low arterial stiffness from a young age could serve as a potential prevention strategy.
