Key Points

To evaluate the long-term risk of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality in young women with favorable cardiovascular risk profiles.
Assessed long-term mortality and disease incidence in young women categorized by cardiovascular risk factor profiles.
Tracked outcomes for coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality among women with optimal levels across five major risk factors compared to those without.
Coronary heart disease and total cardiovascular disease events occurred rarely among young women maintaining favorable levels for all five major cardiovascular risk factors.
Long-term cardiovascular and all-cause mortality rates were substantially lower in women with optimal risk profiles compared with their counterparts.

Implication

Observational study reveals lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in young women with favorable risk profiles, highlighting the importance of early prevention.

Abstract

For women with favorable levels for all 5 major risk factors at younger ages, CHD and CVD are rare; long-term and all-cause mortality are much lower compared with others.
