Outcome
Stability of risk factor clustering from childhood into adulthoodsurrogate
Cardiometabolic risk factor clustering is a relatively stable characteristic from childhood to adulthood, highlighting the potential value of early intervention in high-risk children.
Limitations
- varying definitions of risk factor clustering
- different methodologies for assessing tracking
