Cardiovascular health and cancer mortality: evidence from US NHANES and UK Biobank cohort studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The American Heart Association recently introduced a novel cardiovascular health (CVH) metric, Life's Essential 8 (LE8), for health promotion. However, the relationship between LE8 and cancer mortality risk remains uncertain.
