Exposure to parental smoking in childhood is associated with increased risk of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in adulthood: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.
BACKGROUND The association between passive smoking exposure in childhood and adverse cardiovascular health in adulthood is not well understood. Using a 26-year follow-up study, we examined whether childhood exposure to passive smoking was associated with carotid atherosclerotic plaque in young adults. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants were from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (n=2...
متن کاملParental smoking in childhood and brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation in young adults: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study and the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health study.
OBJECTIVE Passive smoking has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity. The present study aimed to examine the long-term effects of childhood exposure to tobacco smoke on endothelium-dependent vasodilation in adults. METHODS AND RESULTS The analyses were based on 2171 participants in the population-based Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns (N=2067) and Childhood Determinants of ...
متن کاملExposure to Parental Smoking in Childhood is Associated with High C-Reactive Protein in Adulthood: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
AIM Children exposed to parental smoking are at increased long-term risk of subclinical atherosclerosis in adulthood. However, it has not been quantified if exposure to parental smoking in childhood is associated with adult systemic inflammation. This study aimed to determine if childhood exposure to parental smoking was associated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in adulthood. ...
متن کاملIs Childhood Exposure to Parental Smoking a Risk Factor for Future Cardiovascular Disease?
The American Heart Association reported that exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke (SHS) in childhood, mainly SHS through parental smoking, was associated with future adverse cardiovascular health. However, the patho-physiological mechanism by which SHS affects cardiovascular health is not fully understood. In this issue of the Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, Wang et al. used 31-year...
متن کاملPulse pressure in youth and carotid intima-media thickness in adulthood: the cardiovascular risk in young Finns study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Large pulse pressure associates with atherosclerosis, but it is unclear if it contributes to the development of atherosclerosis or if atherosclerosis leads to pulse pressure widening. We examined whether exposure to large pulse pressure in childhood predicts carotid artery intima-media thickness in adulthood. METHODS Carotid intima-media thickness was measured in 2146 a...
