High blood pressure in children as young as seven may increase risk of early heart disease death, study finds.
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.
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 dying from heart disease by midlife.
The findings suggest that high blood pressure in childhood may contribute to long-term cardiovascular problems, underscoring the importance of early screening and promoting heart-healthy habits from a young age.
