Childhood family environment and systemic haemodynamics in adulthood: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Childhood family environment is associated with adulthood health behaviours and cardiovascular health, but limited data are available concerning the relationship between childhood family environment and adulthood haemodynamic determinants of blood pressure. We evaluated how childhood family environment predicts adulthood systemic haemodynamics.

Methods

The sample came from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (n=1554-1620). Childhood family environment (1980) was assessed with four cumulative risk scores: socioeconomic family risk, risky emotional family atmosphere, stressful life events, and parents' risky health behaviours. Haemodynamic outcomes in 2007 (participants being 30-45 year-olds) included stroke volume index, systemic vascular resistance index
