Information is limited regarding the longitudinal tracking of left ventricular (LV) mass over the adult life-course and the determinants of such change. We used multi-level modeling to evaluate the correlates of LV mass prospectively over a 16-year period in 4217 Framingham study participants (mean age 45 years, 53% women) using up to 4 serial routine echocardiographic observations on each individual (11,762 observations). Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (BP), antihypertensive treatment, smoking, and diabetes were related to longitudinal measures of LV mass. Women and participants with diabetes experienced a steeper increase in LV mass with advancing age (compared to men, and those without diabetes; p for interactions <0.0001and 0.0003, respectively). Women also displayed greater increments in LV mass with increasing BMI (compared to men, p=0.04 for interaction). Participants with optimal values of these risk factors experienced lesser increases in LV mass over time. Analyses evaluating short-term (4-year) changes in LV mass (2605 unique individuals providing 4494 observations) identified the same key determinants that influenced its long-term trajectory, i.e., BMI, sex, systolic BP, antihypertensive treatment, and smoking. Our longitudinal observations on a large community-based sample identified higher blood pressure, excess adiposity, smoking and diabetes as fundamental determinants of LV mass tracking over the adult life course. These observations are consistent with the notion that maintenance of optimal levels of these risk factors in midlife will reduce the burden of LV hypertrophy, and possibly heart failure, in older age.
