Ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) behaviour is associated with a lower presence of colorectal adenomas and serrated polyps.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between the American Heart Association (AHA) Life's Essential 7 (LE7) score and the risk of precancerous colorectal lesions remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) behaviours and colorectal cancer (CRC) precursors.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study using health check-up data from the PLA General Hospital from 2013 to 2019. All the subjects underwent routine physical examination and colonoscopy. The seven CVH variables are divided into poor (0), moderate (1) and ideal (2) levels to obtain a CVH score ranging from 0 to 14 points. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between the CVH score and CRC precursors.
