Association between cardiovascular health and overactive bladder.

ABSTRACT: Life's Essential 8 (LE8) is an emerging composite metric of cardiovascular health encompassing diet, physical activity, smoking, sleep, weight, cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Mounting evidence suggests lifestyle factors may play an important role in overactive bladder (OAB), however the link between LE8 and OAB remains unexplored. We aimed to examine the correlation between the two. We analyzed data on 23,187 individuals from the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants were stratified into low, moderate and high LE8 groups. Logistic regression examined the association between LE8 and OAB. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression further probed this relationship. Higher LE8 scores were associated wit
