Committee report: childhood diet and prevention of coronary heart disease. ESPGAN Committee on Nutrition. European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition
Abstract
Coronary heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Europe, particularly northern, central, and eastern Europe. Several strategies have been recommended for children and adolescents to promote a healthy lifestyle and thereby reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in later life. The European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGAN) Committee on Nutrition reviewed some of these strategies, and our conclusions and recommendations are reported herein.
