Genetic And Early Life Predictors Of Ectopic Fat And Their Association With Cardiometabolic Health And Disease

儿童期肥胖可预测成人期心血管疾病。身体质量指数作为衡量肥胖的指标并不能完全描述过度肥胖的生物学特征。然而，身体脂肪分布的差异，特别是器官周围的脂肪，可能解释了一些额外的风险。我们将研究遗传，怀孕和儿童因素对26岁时Raine研究参与者不同身体脂肪和心血管风险的影响。这些年轻的成年人从怀孕到成年都被研究过

Obesity in childhood predicts adult cardiovascular disease. Body mass index as a measure of obesity does not fully describe the biology of excess adiposity. However, differences in the distribution of body fat, particularly fat around organs, may explain some of the excess risk. We will examine effects of genetic, pregnancy and childhood factors on different body fats and cardiovascular risk in Raine Study participants at 26 years. These young adults have been studied from pregnancy to adulthood
