The association of ideal cardiovascular health and its change with subclinical atherosclerosis according to glucose status: A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An updated definition was developed to better evaluate cardiovascular health (CVH). We aimed to investigate whether optimal or improvement of six CVH metrics defined by new Life's Essential 8 (LE8) may counteract the risk of subclinical atherosclerosis among patients with hyperglycemia.

Methods

We conducted a prospective analysis of 5225 participants without prior cardiovascular diseases, of whom 4768 had complete data on CVH change. Subjects with CVH scores of 0-49, 50-79, and 80-100 points were categorized as having low, moderate, or high CVH, respectively. Subclinical atherosclerosis was evaluated by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, pulse pressure and albuminuria, both separately and in combination.

Results

Of the 5225 participants, 1937 (37.1%) had n
