AbstractBackgroundCardio-metabolic risk factors, including hypertension, are increasingly appearing in childhood. The aims of this study were to examine the associations between dietary trajectories across childhood and subsequent blood pressure (BP) at age 10/11, and to further determine whether these associations were explained by BMI or fat mass. MethodsData from 4360 participants from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children were analysed.
