借鉴国内外经验建立随访队列 推动心血管疾病儿童期防控

Establishing longitudinal cohort studies based on domestic and foreign experiences and promoting the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases in childhood

心血管疾病危险因素从儿童期到成年期存在“轨迹”现象,成年期心血管疾病起源于儿童期。国内外建立了多个儿童心血管随访队列,且已随访到中年或老年早期,为成年期心血管疾病的预防提供了证据支持。但是,我国居民当前正处于营养转型期,考虑到我国新的社会经济背景和我国当代儿童的生长发育模式有别于国外儿童,也有别于20世纪90年代的儿童,亟需建立新的有中国特色的儿童心血管随访队列,为我国成人心血管疾病的预防提供新的循证依据。

There is a"trajectory"of cardiovascular risk factors from childhood to adulthood,and cardiovascular disease in adulthood originates in childhood.Several childhood cardiovascular follow‑up cohorts have been established at home and abroad and participants have been followed up to middle‑age or early old‑age period,which have provided evidence support for prevention of cardiovascular disease in adulthood.However,at present,Chinese residents are in nutritional transition period.Given the evolving socio‑economic context in China and the differences in growth and development patterns between contemporary Chinese children and western children or Chinese children in the 1990s,it is necessary to establish new childhood cardiovascular follow‑up cohorts with Chinese features,to inform prevention of cardiovascular disease in Chinese adults.
