Association between Life's Essential 8 and Atherogenic Index of Plasma in adults: insights from NHANES 2007-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) has become a significant global public health challenge, contributing to rising mortality rates. This study aims to investigate the relationship between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), providing insights into the assessment and improvement of Cardiovascular Health (CVH).

Methods

We conducted an analysis of data from 8,215 U.S. adults aged 20 years and older, utilizing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2007 to 2018. Based on the LE8 score, CVH was classified into three levels-low, moderate, and high-while AIP was classified into four risk levels: extremely low (AIP<-0.3), low (-0.3≤AIP<0.1), medium (0.1≤AIP<0.24), and high (AIP≥0.24).
