The relationship between life's essential 8 score and depression symptom severity: evidence from a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many studies have indicated that adverse cardiovascular health (CVH) behaviors are associated with an elevated risk of depression. However, the dose-response relationship between the two and the relative contributions of individual CVH components to depression risk remain unclear.

Methods

We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2015 and 2018. Quantified CVH was assessed using the Life's Simple 8 (LE8) instrument, depression symptoms were measured through the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and a weighted logistic regression, restrictive cubic splines (RCS), subgroup analyses on sociodemographic factors, weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression were employed to evaluate the association between CVH
