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.
自美国心脏协会上次发布儿童营养指南以来，儿童心血管危险因素的流行情况和营养行为已发生显著变化。超重现象有所增加，而饱和脂肪和胆固醇的摄入量则有所下降，至少占总热量摄入的百分比有所下降。从全国调查数据中可以更好地了解儿童的心血管风险状况和当前饮食情况。关于儿童饮食干预效果的新研究已经发表。此外，人们越来越关注生命早期营养的重要性，包括胎儿环境。本科学声明总结了当前关于儿童心血管营养的现有信息，并为从年轻时就开始的心血管疾病一级预防和初级预防提出了建议。
