Early childhood education: can kindergarten reduce the risk of adult metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease?

本研究旨在检视学龄前早期学习环境及其对成人心血管健康结果的影响，进而探讨健康系统的成本。如果发现成人代谢综合征和心血管健康结果可以通过上幼儿园来改善，那么就有可能鼓励所有儿童上幼儿园，从而系统地改变儿童的发展轨迹，从而改善整个人口的心血管健康。

This study aims to examine the pre-school early learning environment and its impact on adult cardiovascular health outcomes and consequently health system costs. If it is found that adult metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular health outcomes can improve with attendance at kindergarten, it may be possible to encourage kindergarten attendance for all children to systematically alter the developmental trajectory of children and as such improve the cardiovascular health of the entire population.
