Risk factors for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease can be identified in young children

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260911/Risk-factors-for-cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic-disease-can-be-identified-in-young-children.aspx Risk factors for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease, a health condition made up of heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and obesity, can be identified in children as young as 8, UTHealth Houston researchers discovered. Using a group of 273 children who participate in the Border Health Research Cohort within the Border Health Research Center at UTHealth Houston School of Public Health in Brownsville, researchers analyzed 5,000 proteins and identified six "signatures" of proteins that significantly influence the risk of developing cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease in adulthood. The same protein signature was present in 685 adults from the same community who were at high risk of irreversible cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease, according to the team.
