Funded Activity Summary

Obesity in childhood predicts adult cardiovascular disease. Body mass index as a measure of obesity does not fully describe the biology of excess adiposity. However, differences in the distribution of body fat, particularly fat around organs, may explain some of the excess risk. We will examine effects of genetic, pregnancy and childhood factors on different body fats and cardiovascular risk in Raine Study participants at 26 years. These young adults have been studied from pregnancy to adulthood
