Cardiovascular health and healthy longevity in people with and without cardiometabolic disease: A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Existing evidence suggest an association of cardiovascular health (CVH) level with cardiometabolic disease (CMD) and mortality, but the effect of CVH on life expectancy, particularly survival years in CMD patients, has not been well-established. This study aimed to investigate the association of CVH defined using the 7-item tool from the American Heart Association (AHA) with life expectancy in people with and without CMD.

Methods

Between 2006 and 2010, a total of 341,331 participants (age 37-73 years) in the UK Biobank were examined and thereafter followed up to 2020. The CVH raised by the AHA included 4 behavioral (smoking, diet, physical activity, body mass index) and 3 biological (fasting glucose, blood cholesterol, blood pressure) metrics, coded on a three-poi
