The International Childhood Cardiovascular Cohort Consortium (i3C) held its latest annual meeting on 12 – 14 October 2023, kindly hosted by the Tulane School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine in New Orleans, U.S.A.
The members discussed scientific progress that had been made with the first clinical outcome related publication from the consortium on the associations between childhood risk factors and adult cardiovascular disease appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2022.
Since that time there have been several papers published / in press, on various aspects of this important relationship, while others have been submitted. Some have investigated in greater detail the role of individual risk factors, and others have attempted to more clearly sort out the relative contributions of child and adult risk factors to the occurrence of CVD in middle age.
The meeting also discussed a large number of future papers and possible grants.
