Childhood Blood Pressure Predicts Longitudinal Decline in Vascular Function: The ExAMIN Youth SA Study
Higher blood pressure in prepubescent children predicts a faster rise in arterial stiffness (PWV) over just ~4 years.

Policy change works!
We showed a decreased frequency of sugar-sweetened beverages intake among young children following the implementation of the health promotion levy in South Africa.
Prevention and implementation research needs more attention and funding.

Early vascular aging (EVA) is not only a concept that applies to adults.
This is an expert consensus on the definition of EVA in youth: rb.gy/arjdvd
"EVA in youth characterizes the precursor alterations of small- and large arterial structure and function due to risk factor exposure during fetal development, childhood and adolescence, ultimately resulting in increased cardiovascular risk which tracks into adulthood." - @JHypertension

Great work from @CVolschenk050 (PhD candidate at @NWU_HART) showing the importance of demographic, socioeconomic, and dietary factors in early cardiovascular risk development, underscoring the importance of early prevention to prevent progression of CVD from childhood into adulthood.

High blood pressure isnโt just an adult concernโit can start in childhood and persist into adulthood, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Early detection saves lives. Thatโs why itโs crucial to check blood pressure from a young age. #MeasureEarly

Thank you @ChanchlaniRahul for this collab piece in ISH Hypertension News @ISHBP
โBy prioritizing pediatric hypertension as a public health concern, we can significantly reduce the risk of serious illnesses in adulthood.โ
