It has been estimated that more than half of today’s youths are predestined to cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality (Frank, Webber, & Berenson, 1982). Because cardiovascular diseases are usually considered adult maladies, some readers may ask why risk factors should be a cause for concern during childhood and adolescence. Autopsy studies of youths provide a compelling answer to this question: Although signs of disease are rarely obvious before midlife, atherosclerosis begins in infancy, with fatty streaks evident by age 3 and fibrous plaques appearing during adolescence (Cresanta et al., 1986). Behavioral indicators further underscore the importance of childhood and adolescence to CVD risk, given evidence of a gradual and consistent decline in health behaviors from the early primary to high school years (Leventhal, Prohaska, & Hirschman, 1985). As Berenson (1986) asserts, “Maximum potential for prevention occurs in early life, especially for high-risk individuals” (p. 21). In the following paragraphs, we consider four fundamental indications for a focus on CV risk in youth: risk factor tracking or continuity, the clustering of health risk indicators and behaviors, the preferability of prevention to intervention, and natural developmental windows or sensitive periods.
