DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The atherosclerotic process begins in childhood with the appearance of fatty streaks in the distal abdominal aorta and later affects the carotid and coronary arteries. Identification of children and adolescents at high risk for atherosclerosis would allow early intervention before the development of symptoms. Measurement of carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) detects subclinical disease and is predictive of coronary artery disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease in older adults. In 1970, cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) were measured in school age children in Muscatine, Iowa. A representative sample of 675 members of this initial cohort are now aged 42 to 50 years. Risk factors were measured in childhood, young adulthood, and three times as older adults. In addition, measures of subclinical disease including carotid IMT, coronary artery calcification (CAC) and brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation have been completed. Carotid IMT in young and middle-aged adults is related to childhood risk factors including cholesterol in both genders and obesity in women. Carotid IMT is significantly associated with CAC and current CRF. In 442 of the offspring of this cohort, aged 15 to 30 years, carotid IMT is not related to CRF but CRF in the offspring are related to parental carotid IMT. Carotid IMT is correlated within siblings and with parental IMT suggesting that there is familial aggregation of carotid IMT. In this application, we will measure IMT in a vascular bed affected earlier by atherosclerosis, the distal abdominal aorta, as well as in the carotid artery. In 662 offspring, aged 11 to 32 years, we will determine (1) if aortic and carotid IMT are related (2) the relationship of CRF to aortic IMT and progression of carotid IMT and (3) the relationship of aortic and carotid IMT in the offspring to subclinical (as measured by progression of carotid IMT) or clinical (cardiovascular morbidity or mortality) disease in their parents. This proposal has the potential of providing information which would allow identification of individuals at high risk of atherosclerosis during childhood or adolescence.

描述（由申请人提供）：动脉粥样硬化过程始于儿童时期，在腹主动脉远端出现脂肪条纹，随后影响颈动脉和冠状动脉。确定儿童和青少年动脉粥样硬化的高风险将允许在症状出现之前进行早期干预。颈动脉内膜中层厚度（IMT）的测量可检测亚临床疾病，并可预测老年人的冠状动脉疾病、中风和外周血管疾病。1970年，在爱荷华州的马斯卡廷对学龄儿童的心血管危险因素（CRF）进行了测量。这一初始队列的675名成员的代表性样本现在年龄在42至50岁之间。在儿童期、青年期和老年人三次测量风险因素。此外，亚临床疾病的测量，包括颈动脉IMT，冠状动脉钙化（CAC）和肱动脉血流介导的扩张已经完成。青年和中年人的颈动脉IMT与儿童期的危险因素有关，包括男女的胆固醇和女性的肥胖。颈动脉IMT与CAC和当前CRF显著相关。在442名年龄在15 - 30岁的子代中，颈动脉IMT与CRF无关，但子代CRF与父母颈动脉IMT相关。颈动脉IMT在兄弟姐妹中相关，并与父母IMT相关，表明颈动脉IMT存在家族聚集性。在本申请中，我们将测量早期受动脉粥样硬化影响的血管床、远端腹主动脉以及颈动脉中的IMT。在662名11 - 32岁的后代中，我们将确定（1）主动脉和颈动脉IMT是否相关（2）CRF与主动脉IMT和颈动脉IMT进展的关系以及（3）后代的主动脉和颈动脉IMT与其父母的亚临床（通过颈动脉IMT进展测量）或临床（心血管发病率或死亡率）疾病的关系。这一建议有可能提供的信息，将允许识别在儿童或青春期动脉粥样硬化的高风险的个人。
