Key result
Having 6 to 7 ideal cardiovascular health metrics compared to 0 to 2 metrics significantly reduced the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.42) and cardiovascular disease mortality (HR 0.10).
Why the study?
Does meeting a greater number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics reduce the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in middle-aged men?
Population
12,538 men aged 40 to 59 years in Korea (Seoul Male Cohort Study)
Comparison
Meeting a greater number of ideal cardiovascular… vs Meeting fewer ideal cardiovascular health metrics
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
1993 through 2011 (230,690 person-years)

Better CV health metrics were associated with lower mortality in Korean men; leaves open causality and generalizability.

Does meeting a greater number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics reduce the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in middle-aged men?
Hazard Ratio: 0.42 (95% CI 0.31–0.59)

Meeting a greater number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics is associated with a significantly lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in middle-aged men.
Kim et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Healthy middle-aged men (n=12,538). 6-7 ideal cardiovascular health metrics vs. 0-2 ideal cardiovascular health metrics was evaluated on All-cause mortality (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.59, p=<0.001). Having 6 to 7 ideal cardiovascular health metrics compared to 0 to 2 metrics significantly reduced the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.42) and cardiovascular disease mortality (HR 0.10).
