Association Between Life's Essential 8 Scores and Heart Failure: Insights From NHANES (2007-2020).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure (HF) is a major public health concern due to the associated high morbidity, mortality, and growing economic burden. Thus, early prevention and identification of modifiable risk factors are crucial to reducing the prevalence of HF. The American Heart Association has recently introduced the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) metrics, which offer a comprehensive framework for assessing cardiovascular health. This research aims to investigate the association between the LE8 metrics and the prevalence of HF among the American population, exploring whether the LE8 metrics are associated with HF prevalence and can contribute to the risk stratification of HF in public health settings.
