Abstract: Since the American Heart Association last presented nutrition guidelines for children, significant changes have occurred in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and nutrition behaviors in children. Overweight has increased, whereas saturated fat and cholesterol intake have decreased, at least as percentage of total caloric intake. Better understanding of children's cardiovascular risk status and current diet is available from national survey data. New research on the efficacy of diet intervention in children has been published. Also, increasing attention has been paid to the importance of nutrition early in life, including the fetal milieu. This scientific statement summarizes current available information on cardiovascular nutrition in children and makes recommendations for both primordial and primary prevention of cardiovascular disease beginning at a young age.

Abstract: As it becomes increasingly evident that the seeds of many adult disorders are planted in childhood, it is important that pediatric care providers 1) recognize risk factors for adult disease in children and 2) institute effective interventions. Many adult medical conditions are significantly related to or influenced by nutritional factors. This review evaluates three areas in preventive and therapeutic pediatric nutrition: obesity, lipid disorders, and osteoporosis.
