Key result
Each additional ideal cardiovascular health metric was associated with a 17% reduction in the risk of incident diabetes mellitus among black adults (HR 0.83; 95% CI 0.74-0.93).

Supports CVH optimization for diabetes prevention in black adults; extends observational data but leaves open need for trials.
Cohort (n=2,668)
Does a higher number of AHA ideal cardiovascular health metrics reduce the risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus in Black adults?
Hazard Ratio: 0.83 (95% CI 0.74–0.93)
Higher American Heart Association ideal cardiovascular health scores are associated with a significantly lower risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus among Black adults, an association largely explained by insulin resistance.
Effoe et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Incident Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=2,668). Ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics vs. Fewer ideal CVH metrics (e.g., 1 or no ideal CVH metric) was evaluated on Incident diabetes mellitus (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74-0.93). Each additional ideal cardiovascular health metric was associated with a 17% reduction in the risk of incident diabetes mellitus among black adults (HR 0.83; 95% CI 0.74-0.93).
