Key result
Higher family socioeconomic status in childhood was associated with lower arterial stiffness in adulthood, including higher carotid artery distensibility (P=0.001) and lower pulse wave velocity (P=0.006).
Why the study?
Does higher childhood family-level socioeconomic status reduce arterial stiffness in adulthood?
Cohort (n=2,566)
Does higher childhood family-level socioeconomic status reduce arterial stiffness in adulthood?
Effect estimate: β 0.029
p-value: p=0.001
Higher childhood socioeconomic status is associated with lower arterial stiffness in adulthood, highlighting the importance of primordial prevention in children from low SES families.

Higher childhood SES was associated with lower adult arterial stiffness; leaves open whether early-life interventions modify later cardiovascular risk.
Puolakka et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Arterial stiffness (n=2,566). Higher childhood family-level socioeconomic status vs. Lower childhood family-level socioeconomic status was evaluated on Carotid artery distensibility (β 0.029, p=0.001). Higher family socioeconomic status in childhood was associated with lower arterial stiffness in adulthood, including higher carotid artery distensibility (P=0.001) and lower pulse wave velocity (P=0.006).
