Cardiovascular disease risk in children : 'pre-clinical' markers and the impact of body composition, physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Cardiovascular disease is one of the largest killers in the UK representing 30% of all global deaths. The underlying processes of the disease are thought to begin in childhood. Whilst traditional risk factors of CV disease (e.g. hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, smoking, stress and sedentary lifestyles) are becoming increasingly prevalent within the younger generation there remains the need for the establishm...
