Determinants of cardiovascular health over the lifecourse in a population-based cohort study of Australian families

这个独特的项目将在澳大利亚唯一具有全国代表性的儿童研究中检查大约3500名11-12岁儿童的心脏健康状况。然后，它将检查可能导致不同心脏病进展的因素。我们将描述已确定的因素（如胆固醇、血压和糖尿病），以及感染负担和炎症的措施，以检验儿童感染和/或其治疗导致心脏健康状况较差的创新理论。

This unique project will examine the heart health of roughly 3500 11-12 year olds in Australia's only nationally-representative children's study. It will then examine factors that may contribute to differing heart disease progression. We will characterise established factors (such as cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes), as well as measures of infection burden and inflammation to examine the innovative theory that childhood infection and/or its treatment contribute to poorer heart health.
