Which is good because "ASCVD is a disease that begins in childhood; hence, primordial prevention is an important target for improving cardiovascular morbidity and mortality later in life."
> Elevated LDL-C and triglyceride levels have a positive correlation with atherosclerotic lesion prevalence that persists from childhood through early adulthood... Follow-up data from the Young Finns cohort after 12 and 27 yr also demonstrated positive correlations between elevated childhood serum cholesterol and triglycerides to elevated levels in adulthood... Children from the i3C cohort with high and borderline-high total cholesterol have 1.5 to 2.13 times the risk of both fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events in adulthood than children without. In addition, i3C children with high and borderline-high triglycerides have 1.69 to 2.47 times the risk than children with normal triglycerides.
