Trends and Disparities in Cardiometabolic Health Among U.S. Adults, 1999-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have assessed U.S. cardiometabolic health trends-optimal levels of multiple risk factors and absence of clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD)-or its impact on health disparities.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to investigate U.S. trends in optimal cardiometabolic health from 1999 to 2018.

Methods

We assessed proportions of adults with optimal cardiometabolic health, based on adiposity, blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure, and clinical CVD; and optimal, intermediate, and poor levels of each component among 55,081 U.S. adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Results

In 2017-2018, only 6.8% (95% CI: 5.4%-8.1%) of U.S. adults had optimal cardiometabolic health, declining from 1999-2000 (P trend = 0.02
