Association of life's essential 8 score with risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease-related mortality in individuals with hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The American Heart Association (AHA) recently defined a new concept of cardiovascular health-Life's Essential 8 (LE8). We sought to examine whether LE8 score is associated with a risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality in individuals with hypertension.

Methods

This longitudinal study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2018 in people 20 years or older with hypertension. LE8 score (range 0-100) was measured according to the AHA definition and divided into unweighted tertiles into groups T1 (< 50.00), T2 (50.00-61.25), and T3 (≥ 61.25). Primary outcomes included all-cause mortality and CVD-specific mortality.

Results

A total of 15,318 individuals with hypertension were included in t
