Healio (11/22, Swain) reports, “Children who experienced adversity from age 0 to 15 years were at elevated risk for developing CVD in young adulthood compared with those who did not,” investigators concluded in findings published online in the European Heart Journal. For the study, investigators “analyzed 1,263,013 individuals born in Denmark between 1980 and 2001 who were not diagnosed with CVD or congenital heart disease before age 16 years,” then “stratified the cohort into five groups based on adversity experienced between birth and age 15 years.”
