Why the study?
Does meeting a greater number of cardiovascular health metrics reduce all-cause and CVD mortality in US adults?
Does meeting a greater number of cardiovascular health metrics reduce all-cause and CVD mortality in US adults?
Meeting more cardiovascular health metrics is associated with reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, highlighting the importance of ideal cardiovascular health despite its low prevalence.
Supports CVH promotion in US adults; leaves open causal effects and strategies to raise low prevalence.
Meeting a greater number of cardiovascular health metrics was associated with a lower risk of total and CVD mortality, but the prevalence of meeting all 7 cardiovascular health metrics was low in the study population.
