Key result
Having a partner who attained ≥3 ideal cardiovascular health variables was associated with higher odds of a participant attaining ≥3 ideal variables (OR 3.0; 95% CI 1.6-5.6).

May inform couple-based CVH strategies; hypothesis-generating and leaves open causality pending longitudinal data.
Observational (n=462)
Odds Ratio: 3 (95% CI 1.6–5.6)
There is significant intracouple concordance in ideal cardiovascular health metrics, suggesting that couple-based interventions may be an effective strategy for cardiovascular risk reduction.
Erqou et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular health (n=462). Partner attaining ≥3 ideal cardiovascular health variables vs. Partner not attaining ≥3 ideal cardiovascular health variables was evaluated on Attaining ≥3 ideal cardiovascular health variables (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.6-5.6). Having a partner who attained ≥3 ideal cardiovascular health variables was associated with higher odds of a participant attaining ≥3 ideal variables (OR 3.0; 95% CI 1.6-5.6).
