Abstract

During a median of 10.3 years of follow-up, CVD was observed in 597 participants.

  • Participants with a decrease in cardiovascular health (CVH) score from moderate to low had about a 128% increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
  • The hazard ratio for participants with consistently low CVH scores was 2.19, indicating a higher risk of CVD compared to those with moderate CVH.
  • No significant exposure-response relationship was found between changes in LE8 score and incident CVD.
  • The association between changes in CVH and CVD risk varied across different patterns of CVH change.
