The relationship between healthy lifestyle score and incident cardiovascular disease: results from Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence on the combined impact of healthy lifestyle factors on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the Iranian population is limited. This study aimed to examine the association between a healthy lifestyle score (HLS) and the incidence of CVD.

Methods

This prospective cohort study, including 5419 adults aged over 35 years, was performed in the framework of the Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS) which is an ongoing study. The HLS (ranging from 0 (unhealthy) to 4 (most healthy)) was derived from four modifiable risk factors: never smoking, diet quality, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI). Investigated cardiovascular outcomes included myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, unstable angina (UA), and CVD mortality. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used
