Research shows, what is consumed by children at the age of 3 years can determine their risk of having a heart ache later on. The research, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that stated, the effect of a bad diet can be directly seen since the age of childhood. It appears to be from increased levels of cholesterol — as one indicator of the risk of heart illness — in children aged 3 to 5 years.

A number of factors such as age, gender, weight at birth, gestasional diabetes, body mass index (BMI), and ethnicity of parents into account. Investigators want to know whether there is a relationship between diet and serum cholesterol levels in non-HDL (non-high density lipoprotein) which is a marker of heart disease risk. Research shows, children's eating patterns are associated with increases in cholesterol levels in non-HDL. This indicates that the intervention for the prevention of heart disease should have been made at the early age.
"Our research shows that the relationship between diet and cardiovascular risk appeared early in life, and can be a potential target for early intervention. Eating patterns as reported parents dealing positively with the non-HDL cholesterol levels in children aged 3-5 years, "said the researcher, Dr. Navindra Persaud. According to him, the results of these studies support the importance of intervention efforts reasons aimed at improving children's eating patterns in the preschool age.
