Actual (reported)Established and validated the echocardiographic protocol that was used to generate the serial data on cardiac structure and function in 723 adults in the FLS population .
Investigators are currently finishing an investigation of racial divergence in cardiac structure, cardiac function and blood pressure in relationship to child growth from 9 to 18 years in 700 women who were participants in the National Growth and Health Study participants. Preliminary results show that women who were overweight during childhood (25 ≤ BMI \< 30 kg/m2) had a significantly larger LVM and elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) at age 22 years than women who were not overweight during childhood. Women who had elevated SBP during childhood had a significantly larger LVM and elevated SBP at age 22 years than women who did not have elevated SBP values during childhood.
1929-2009
Echocardiographic measurements were made in 437 male and 492 female adults in the Fels Longitudinal Study who had serial measurements of body composition made and recorded as children. The selection criteria include participants who have at least 10 serial anthropometric visits between 2 and 20 years of age. The anthropometric measurements include weight and height for computation of BMI and blood pressure. Approximately one-half of the sample is 50 years and older.
