Associations Between Cardiovascular Health (Life's Essential 8) and Mental Disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mental health was closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to investigate the association between cardiovascular health (CVH), as defined by Life's Essential 8 (LE8), and the presence of depression and anxiety.

Hypothesis

We hypothesized that CVH, as defined by LE8, was negatively associated with the prevalence of depression and anxiety.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on participants (≥ 20 years old) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The LE8 score (ranging from 0 to 100) was composed of the health behavior score and the health factor score, which were further categorized into three levels as follows: low (0-49), moderate (50-79), and high (80-100). Weighted multivariable logistic regress
