Abstract in brief

The study found that children with atherosclerosis-promoting risk factors, like obesity, familial dyslipidemia, hypertension, or smoking exposure, often show advanced vascular age, similar to that of 45-year-old adults, as measured by carotid artery thickness.
Most obese children (75%) and a significant number of children with familial dyslipidemia (73%) exhibited advanced vascular age, with a higher prevalence in obese children, especially those with high triglyceride levels.
Children with obesity and high fasting triglycerides tend to have more advanced vascular aging, indicating that these factors may accelerate early atherosclerosis, underscoring the importance of managing these risk factors during childhood.]
