Description
Summary:[...]the total variation explained by early life factors was less than half of that explained by adult risk factors. [...]modification of adult exposures, particularly body fat percentage and smoking, would be the most likely way to reduce the concentration of plasma fibrinogen in adulthood, which may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
