Cardiovascular health and life expectancy with and without cardiovascular disease in the middle-aged and elderly Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High cardiovascular health (CVH) was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and longer life expectancy. However, whether life years lived without CVD could increase faster than or at least at the same pace as total lifespan remains unknown. We aimed to explore the associations of CVH status with total life expectancy and life years lived with and without CVD among middle-aged and elderly men and women.

Methods

We included 65,587 participants aged ≥ 45 years from Kailuan study, who were recruited during June 2006 to October 2007. CVH was scored and classified (low [0-49 points], moderate [50-79 points] and high [80-100 points]) with Life's Essential 8, incorporating evaluations of health behaviors and factors. All-cause mortality and incident no
