Researchers followed particpants in the Young Finns Study for 21 years. An increasing number of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and factors in childhood were associated with a lower risk of biologic risk factors in adulthood, including hypertension and hypercholesterolemia.

Having more modifiable CVD factors at ideal levels in middle age is associated with lower risk of CVD at older ages. A graded relationship between increasing low-risk factors and decreasing CVD risk was seen across race-gender groups.

In this analysis of NHANES data, only 2 % of Americans achieved ideal levels of the Simple 7. This small proportion is consistent with other recently published population-based studies. In this study, adults who attained ideal levels on more behaviors and factors experienced less all-cause and CVD mortality.

The epidemic of overweight/obesity has occurred too quickly to be attributable to genetic mutations. The primordial prevention of overweight and obesity is critical given its relationship with CVD risk. Futher, sustained weight loss following a state of overweight/obesity is rare.

The authors document recent trends in cardiovascular health behaviors and factors using NHANES data, 1988-1994 and 1999-2008. Trends in smoking, elevated blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol showed improvements, while trends in obesity and fasting blood glucose changed adversely. The authors predict that the AHA 2020 Impact Goal will not be attained if these trends persist.
