研究发现,7岁以下儿童的高血压增加了早期心脏病死亡的风险。 High blood pressure in children as young as seven increases risk of early heart disease death, study finds.

在《美国医学协会杂志》上发表的一份研究报告将年仅7岁的儿童血压升高与晚年过早心血管死亡的风险增加联系起来。 A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association links elevated blood pressure in children as young as seven to a higher risk of premature cardiovascular death later in life. 研究人员对1959年至1965年间出生的37 000多名儿童的数据进行了分析,发现7岁高血压和高血压与中年与心脏病有关的死亡风险增加密切相关。 Analyzing data from over 37,000 children born between 1959 and 1965, researchers found that higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure at age seven was significantly associated with increased risk of heart disease-related death by midlife. 调查结果表明,通常被视为成人状况的高血压可能扎根于童年,并强调早期筛查和促进心脏健康习惯对于减少长期心血管风险的重要性。 The findings suggest that high blood pressure, often seen as an adult condition, may have roots in childhood and underscore the importance of early screening and promoting heart-healthy habits to reduce long-term cardiovascular risks.
