Cardiovasculaire gezondheid bij zwangere vrouwen en hun kinderen: het Generation R Onderzoek
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major public health problem in the general adult population. 1 Cardiovascular disease leads to over 17.3 million deaths per year and is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide.1 In the Netherlands, cardiovascular disease accounts for approximately 30% of current mortality rates among men and women.2 Because of the clinical impact that cardiovascular and metabolic diseases have at older ages, research into related risk factors has mostly been focused on adults. However, in the last decades, an accumulating body of evidence suggested that cardiovascular health in younger age groups also has major long-term public health implications.
