About this study
To track blood pressure from childhood through adolescence.
Read the detailed description
BACKGROUND:
Children's Activity and Nutrition III was originally part of the Institute-initiated Studies of Children's Activity and Nutrition (SCAN), first funded in 1985. Children's Activity and Nutrition III was renewed in 1992 as a stand-alone project with a focus on assessment of the development of hemodynamic mechanisms responsible for blood pressure (BP) control within the context of ethnicity and family history of early myocardial infarction (MI), defined as having a parent or grandparent with an MI at less than 55 years of age and a family history.
Blacks have a higher mortality rate through middle adulthood than whites from coronary heart disease (CHD), the leading causes of death in the United States. Blacks have been found to exhibit greater cardiovascular (CV) response to stress (i.e., reactivity), a potential risk factor for CHD, as have individuals with a family history. . Although CHD has its pathobiologic origins in childhood, little longitudinal reactivity research has been conducted in youth, especially from childhood through late adolescence.
DESIGN NARRATIVE:
The study followed a multiethnic sample of 250 13 to 14 year olds for an additional 5 years to determine: 1) whether blood pressure (BP) reactivity during childhood predicted changes in resting BP, left ventricular mass and concentric remodeling, carotid artery wall elasticity and endothelial dependent arterial dilation up to 11 years later after controlling for other expected predictors (i.e., age, gender, ethnicity, resting BP, adiposity, ambulatory BP); 2) the influence of ethnicity, family history and a select group of moderator variables (i.e., environmental stress, anger and John Henryism coping styles, aerobic fitness on youth's cardiovascular (CV) reactivity; and 3) the stability of CV reactivity and a 24- hour ambulatory BP from childhood through late adolescence. The long- term objectives were to provide a better understanding of the development of CV reactivity in youth and its influence upon early pathobiologic markers of coronary heart disease prior to overt manifestation of disease.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hypertension, run by Augusta University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00007111, which also lists 24 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Dec 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
