Abstract
- Atherosclerotic-CVD processes begin early in life and are influenced over the life course by interaction of genetic and potential modifiable risk factors, behaviors, and environmental exposures. The purpose of this review is to highlight importance of primordial and primary prevention beginning early in the life course. Evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for primordial and primary prevention support importance of individual/clinical and population-based approaches to CVD prevention beginning early in life with goal of reducing the risk and burden of CVD. Substantial evidence supports the individual and societal benefits of prevention of CVD and promotion of optimal cardiovascular health beginning early in life and extending across the life course and the need for additional research to guide and inform practices and policies enabling optimal cardiovascular health for all.
