Association between Ideal Cardiovascular Health Metrics and Suboptimal Health Status in Chinese Population. [PDF]
AbstractSuboptimal health status (SHS) is a physical state between health and illness, and previous studies suggested that SHS is associated with majority components of cardiovascular health metrics defined by American Heart Association (AHA). We investigated the association between SHS and cardiovascular health metrics in a cross-sectional analysis of

Ideal cardiovascular health metrics and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in Korean adults. [PDF]
The association between cardiovascular risk factors and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is well established, but whether cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics is associated with NAFLD had not been fully studied. Thus, we examined the association between CVH metrics and NAFLD in the middle-aged Korean population.We used data of 2,928 (851 men and
