Life's Essential 8 in relation to self-rated health and health-related quality of life in a large population-based sample: the SCAPIS project.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To monitor cardiovascular health, in 2022, the American Heart Association (AHA) updated the construct "Life's Simple 7" (LS7) to "Life's Essential 8" (LE8).
