Of note, the prevention of childhood obesity is key measure, the control of childhood BP is the first goal, and the development of healthy lifestyle is important basis. The prevention and control of CVD risk factors in childhood can benefit the future prevention and treatment of CVD in adulthood, provide scientific base for the prevention and intervention of cardiovascular risk factors in childhood, and provide new perspective for the early prevention of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood.
