High Blood Pressure, Cholesterol and Kids

Evidence continues to grow that the build up of blood cholesterol begins early in childhood and the process that leads to high blood pressure (hypertension) and cororary artery disease starts earlier in life than expected.

This has led medical professionals and health experts to call for earlier and more aggressive intervention to reduce this risk.

In the Aug. 5 issue of the American Heart Association Journal Circulation, doctors and researchers concluded that lifestyle and drug therapies designed to lower cholesterol  should begin early in adulthood. They agreed that even childhood programs could significantly reduce death rates from heart disease.

Cholesterol-lowering medications are prescribed mostly to middle-aged people after they has already been a build up of plaque on their artery walls and their cholesterol levels are already too high.
