Overview
This publication is designed for health professionals, medical researchers and anyone with an interest in the health of children or cardiovascular disease. It is divided into three sections – congenital heart disease, medical risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease, and behavioural risk factors such as diet, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption and smoking.
This is the first Coronary Heart Disease statistics supplement to focus on children and young people, presenting a wider range of statistics concerning their behaviour and health.
It was produced in collaboration with the British Heart Foundation Centre on Population Approaches for Non‑Communicable Disease Prevention, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford.
