Trends in Cardiovascular Health Metrics and Associations With All-Cause and CVD Mortality Among US Adults
Yang Q, Cogswell ME, Flanders WD, Hong Y, Zhang Z, Loustalot F, Gillespie C, Merritt R, Hu FB. JAMA 2012; 307, published online March 16, 2012.
Abstract |
| | - An examination of time trends in metrics of cardiovascular health to evaluate the relationship to risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality.
- Prevalence of having all seven ideal cardiovascular health metrics was low; however, results indicate that achieving more cardiovascular health metrics at the ideal level reduces risk of total and cardiovascular mortality.
