Associations between Life's Essential 8 and risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in cancer survivors: A prospective cohort study from NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Life's Essential 8 (LE8), an indicator of cardiovascular health (CVH), can predict overall and cardiovascular mortality in the general population. Considering that cancer survivors have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), our study aimed to investigate the association between LE8 and the prognosis of cancer survivors.

Methods

A total of 2191 cancer survivors were included from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2018). LE8 scores, derived from eight individual metrics, were categorized into three groups: low (0-49), moderate (50-79), and high (80-100). Cox regression analysis, nonlinear analysis, sensitivity analysis, and subgroup analysis were conducted to explore the association between LE8 scores and mortality risks, adjusting
