Absolutely!
While typically people do not develop Heart disease until much older, age is not the only risk factor for heart disease. Obesity, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol can trump age. Sadly, the epidemic of childhood obesity and the health issues associated with it such as Diabetes, is increasing the number of children developing heart disease.
The good news, however, is the risk and impact of heart disease can be reduced through good eating habits, increased activity, and careful monitoring and control of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
