Why the study?
The American Heart Association 2020 Impact Goals aimed to promote population health through cardiovascular health, prompting examination of how nondietary metrics relate to patient-reported outcomes in adults without cardiovascular disease.
Is poor cardiovascular health associated with worse patient-reported outcomes and loss of productivity in US adults without cardiovascular disease?
Population
177 421 US adults aged ≥18 years without cardiovascular disease
Comparison

Lower nondietary CVH scores linked to worse patient-reported outcomes; hypothesis-generating for interventions in adults without CVD.
Is poor cardiovascular health associated with worse patient-reported outcomes and loss of productivity in US adults without cardiovascular disease?
Among US adults without cardiovascular disease, poor cardiovascular health metrics are significantly associated with worse patient-reported healthcare experiences, poorer health perception, and increased loss of productivity.
