About The Study: In this prospective cohort study of young adults, unfavorable patterns of cardiovascular health (CVH) change through young adulthood were associated with marked elevations in risk for incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). These data suggest that achieving and maintaining high CVH throughout young adulthood through strategies of primordial prevention are important for prevention of later-life CVD.
