Coronary heart disease risk factors track significantly from adolescence to young adulthood, particularly in males, with lower social status relating to higher risk.
Andersen et al. (1993) conducted a cohort in Coronary heart disease risk factors (n=203). Observation of lifestyle and risk factors was evaluated on Changes in coronary heart disease risk factors and total risk score tracking (r = 0.67, p=< 0.001). Coronary heart disease risk factors tracked significantly from adolescence to young adulthood over 8 years, with a strong correlation for total risk score in men (r=0.67, P<0.001).
