To assess whether adopting a healthy lifestyle throughout young adulthood is associated with the presence of the low cardiovascular disease profile in middle age. Objective: Methods: Multicenter longitudinal study. Main follow up visits: Y0, Y7, Y20. Healthy lifestyle factors: average BMI 25 kg/m 2 , no or moderate alcohol intake, higher healthy diet score, higher physical activity score, and never smoking. Study sample: 3154 black and white men and women, 18 to 30 years of age, who were free of CVD and were recruited from 1985 to 1986 from four urban centers in the US.
