“…The association between socioeconomic position in childhood and subsequent CVD risk in adulthood is now well established, with a considerable body of evidence showing markers of low socioeconomic status in childhood to be associated with CVD risk factors (Kivimaki, Smith, Juonala, et al, 2006), metabolic syndrome (Puolakka et al, 2016), vascular structure and function (Kivimaki, Lawlor, et al, 2006; Kivimaki, Smith, Elovainio, et al, 2006; Kivimaki, Smith, Juonala, et al, 2006; Puolakka et al, 2017) and risk of coronary heart disease (Lawlor, Smith, & Ebrahim, 2004). Less evidence exists for associations with psychosocial adversity in childhood.…”

Studies assessing associations of childhood psychosocial adversity (e.g. sexual abuse, physical neglect, parental death), as opposed to socioeconomic adversity, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in adulthood are scarce. The aim of this study is to assess associations of various types of psychosocial adversity and cumulative adversity in childhood, with multiple CVD risk factors in mid-life. At study enrolment, women from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (N = 3612) retrospectively reported: lack of maternal care, maternal overprotection, parental mental illness, household dysfunction, sexual abuse, physical and emotional abuse, and neglect in childhood. Approximately 23 years later, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma glucose, insulin, triglycerides, low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and arterial distensibility were assessed (mean age 51 years). We examined associations of each specific type of psychosocial adversity and cumulative adversity with CVD risk factors. No specific type of psychosocial adversity was consistently associated with the CVD risk factors. There was evidence that a one standard deviation greater cumulative psychosocial adversity was associated with 0.51 cm greater waist circumference (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.02 cm, 1.00 cm, p = 0.04) and a lower arterial distensibility, even after adjustment for age, ethnicity and childhood and adult socioeconomic position. We found no consistent evidence that any specific type of psychosocial adversity, or cumulative psychosocial adversity in childhood, is associated with CVD risk factors in adult women.

“…Children and adults with low SES are more likely to have a poor diet, low levels of physical activity (PA) and high levels of sedentary behaviours and therefore, they show higher rates of obesity and diabetes than children and adults with high SES [7]. Higher SES in childhood has been associated with a lower risk for MetS more than 30 years later in adulthood independently of cardiometabolic risk factors in childhood and participants' SES in adulthood [8]. These results emphasize that obesity and MetS tracks into adulthood [9].…”

“…We found that obesity in childhood, low SES, parental CVD history and short sleep duration are significant risk factors for CVD-RFC in adolescents. Previous prospective cohort studies suggested that anthropometric measurements,23 childhood SES,24 childhood nutrition,15 some biochemical markers such as BP, lipid profiles and insulin level and family history of hypertension and diabetes25 were youth determinants of adult MetS.…”

Cardiovascular disease risk factor clustering in children and adolescents: a prospective cohort study

Obesity in childhood, short sleep duration and parental factors such as low socioeconomic status and parental history of CVD are significant risk factors for the development of CVD-RFC in adolescents. Efforts to create awareness regarding sufficient sleep duration in children via intervention programmes targeting cardiometabolic health in children and special attention to lifestyle modifications and socioeconomic components of the family should be considered.

Childhood Socioeconomic Status in Predicting Metabolic Syndrome and Glucose Abnormalities in Adulthood: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study

Abstract: Lower SES in childhood may be associated with an increased risk for MetS, IFG, and type 2 diabetes in adulthood. Special attention could be paid to children of low SES families to decrease the prevalence of MetS in adulthood.
