Abstract
Abstract:The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors at early lifecycle stages is higher than ever before, early identification and stratified intervention are critical to slowing down disease progression and reducing cardiovascular disease risk burden in adulthood. The implementation of stratified interventions to address the co-prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors can reduce health expenditure and increase social capital. Guided by the policies and characteristics inherent to the growth and development of Chinese children, and nurtured and inspired by prestigious child cohorts around the world, we aim to carry out a precisely measured child cohort study that uses rigorous indicators to assess child health. We wish to produce detailed evidence that can identify cardiometabolic risk factors during childhood, so as to develop early warning and informed stratified intervention strategies, which can thereby reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in China from childhood to adulthood and improve quality of life.
