Figure 1. Early life risk factors and adult cardiovascular disease .

Figure 1

Early‐life risk factors shown in the first panel have been suggested to be associated with tissue or organ programming later in life. Such programming, due to the adaptation to existing environmental conditions, results in different phenotypes shown in the second panel. All together, they are known risk factors for future development of systemic disease and cardiovascular disease.
