The burden of cardiovascular disease and diabetes and associated risk factors, such as obesity, smoking, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertension, and dietary factors, present a mix of factors that are detrimental to the immediate and long-term health of First Nations peoples in Canada. The authors use a life course perspective to examine the long-term effects of risk factors that are prevalent during gestation, childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and adult life on developmental health and later disease risk. The resultant broader perspective may generate innovative approaches to addressing chronic disease in Canada's Aboriginal population.
心血管疾病、糖尿病以及肥胖、吸烟、糖耐量受损、高血压和饮食因素等相关风险因素，构成了一系列对加拿大原住民近期和长期健康有害的因素。作者采用生命历程视角，研究妊娠、童年、青少年、青年期和成年期普遍存在的风险因素对发育健康和后期疾病风险的长期影响。由此产生的更广阔视角可能会催生应对加拿大原住民慢性病的创新方法。
