Key result
Meeting ≥4 ideal cardiovascular health metrics was associated with lower all-cause mortality compared to meeting 0-1 metrics in stroke survivors (HR 0.51; 95% CI 0.28-0.92).
Why the study?
Does achieving a greater number of 'Life's Simple 7' metrics reduce all-cause mortality in US adults with stroke?
Population
420 US adults with stroke from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (1988-1994)
Comparison
Achieving ≥4 'Life's Simple 7' ideal… vs Achieving 0 to 1 'Life's Simple 7' metrics
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
median 98 months (range, 53-159)

Achieving a greater number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics is associated with a significantly lower long-term risk of all-cause mortality among stroke survivors.
Lin et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in stroke (n=420). Meeting ≥4 ideal cardiovascular health metrics vs. Meeting 0 to 1 ideal health metrics was evaluated on all-cause mortality (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28-0.92, p=0.022). Meeting ≥4 ideal cardiovascular health metrics was associated with lower all-cause mortality compared to meeting 0-1 metrics in stroke survivors (HR 0.51; 95% CI 0.28-0.92).
