Tracking of cardiovascular disease risk factors including maximal oxygen uptake and physical activity from late teenage to adulthood An 8‐year follow‐up study

Abstract. Objectives. The aim of the study was to analyse changes in coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood, and how changes in risk factors relate to changes in lifestyle.
