Cardiovascular Risk, Health Metrics, and Cancer Prediction: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are leading global causes of morbidity and mortality. Given the shared risk factors, it is plausible that CVD risk scores and cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics could predict cancer risk.

Objectives

The authors sought to identify and summarize studies examining the association between CVD risk scores, CVH metrics, and incident cancer.

Methods

A systematic search of 4 databases (Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science: Core) was conducted in April 2024 without language or date restrictions. Five reviewers (G.H., J.K., S.J.K., M.H., V.L.R.) independently screened records using Covidence software and extracted data from eligible prospective studies (adults aged ≥18 years; cancer incidence as outcome; CVD risk scores or C
