Abstract
A total of 9,379 (2.8%) participants developed during a median follow-up of 13.6 years.
- Higher cardiovascular health (CVH) scores, categorized as moderate and high, are associated with a significantly lower risk of heart failure compared to low CVH scores.
- Specifically, moderate CVH scores are linked to a 40.4% reduced risk ( 0.596), while high CVH scores are associated with a 54.2% reduced risk (hazard ratio 0.458) of heart failure.
- Each standard deviation increase in the (LE8) score correlates with a 25.5% lower risk of developing heart failure.
- Participants with low CVH and depressive symptoms show a greater risk for heart failure compared to those without depressive symptoms.
- The lowest risk of heart failure is found in individuals with high CVH scores and no depressive symptoms, indicating a protective effect.
