Key result
Having 4-7 ideal CVH metrics is linked to ~76% lower CVD risk versus 0-2 metrics.
Why the study?
Does having a higher number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a Chinese population?
Cohort (n=938)
Yes
Does having a higher number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a Chinese population?
Hazard Ratio: 0.24 (95% CI 0.12–0.47)
A higher number of ideal cardiovascular health metrics is strongly associated with reduced long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the Chinese population.

Supports CVH promotion in Chinese adults; extends prior data but leaves open causality without RCTs.
Zhou et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (n=938). 4-7 ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics vs. 0-2 ideal CVH metrics was evaluated on All cardiovascular disease (CVD) (HR 0.24, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.47). Having 4-7 ideal cardiovascular health metrics was associated with a lower risk of all cardiovascular disease compared to 0-2 metrics (HR 0.24; 95% CI 0.12 to 0.47).
