The prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health in urban Chinese children and adolescents is extremely low (0.5%), indicating a strong need for public health interventions.
Yan et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular health (n=12,618). 7 cardiovascular health metrics was evaluated on Prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health (meeting all 7 ideal components). The overall prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health (meeting all 7 ideal components) among urban Chinese children and adolescents was extremely low at 0.5%.
