@DeStrider and others… Check your kid’s blood pressure:
Higher blood pressure (BP) at age 7 years is associated with an increased risk for premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, according to a study published online Sept. 7 in the Journal of the American Medical Association to coincide with the American Heart Association Hypertension 2025 Scientific Sessions, held from Sept. 4 to 7 in Baltimore.
Alexa A. Freedman, Ph.D., from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, and colleagues analyzed data from a prospective cohort of children born to women enrolled in the U.S. Collaborative Perinatal Project between 1959 and 1965 at 12 sites to examine the association between BP at age 7 years and CVD mortality.
