Blood Protein Clues May Identify Children at Risk for Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Disease

Researchers have identified early signs of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease (CKMD) in children as young as eight years old by analyzing circulating protein signatures in their blood. Published in *Nature Metabolism*, these findings suggest a critical opportunity for precision medicine to improve the health and longevity of young people, potentially allowing for early interventions with new classes of weight loss drugs.
