Trends in prevalence of health and cardiovascular risk factors based on Life's Essential 8 among US adults, 2007-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to determine trends in the prevalence of health factors and risk factors based on Life's Essential 8 (LE8) among US adults.

Methods

Crude weighted prevalence and 95% CI values of individual risk and health factors based on LE8 were estimated by cycle, and their trends were assessed in logistic regression models.

Results

From 2007-2008 to 2017-2020, the prevalence of lack of physical activity (27.2% to 22.5%), current smoking (21.2% to 15.9%), less sleep time (37.1% to 22.7%), and hyperlipidemia (55.8% to 50.8%) decreased, and obesity (33.9% to 43.3%) and hypertension (31.5% to 34.6%) increased, whereas unhealthy diet
