Heart Niagara, a non-profit organization, collected the data for a study between 2002 and 2008 and continues to provide a solution to improve the health of Canadian teens. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity are affecting young teenagers in Canada at alarmingly high rates, and are increasing over time, says a new study presented Monday at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress in Edmonton. One in seven young teens studied had high blood pressure and most already had at least one major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, says the study, which examined the heart health of 20,719 Grade 9 students aged 14 and 15.
