Educational Attainment and Prevalence of Cardiovascular Health (Life's Simple 7) in Asian Americans. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2021
Asian Americans have a high burden of cardiovascular disease, yet little is known about the social patterning of cardiovascular health (CVH) in this population. We examined if education (<high school diploma, high school diploma, some college, and college degree+) was associated with CVH and if this varied by time in the United States (U.S.).

Redefining Cardiovascular Health to Include Sleep: Prospective Associations With Cardiovascular Disease in the MESA Sleep Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Although sufficient and healthy sleep is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors, the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 (LS7), as a measure of cardiovascular health (CVH), did not include sleep ...

Ideal Life's Simple 7 Score Relates to Macrovascular Structure and Function in the Healthy Population. [PDF]

Nutrients, 2022
Background: Cardiovascular health scores, such as Life’s Simple 7 from the American Heart Association, and the assessment of arterial properties are independently used to determine cardiovascular risk. However, evidence of their association remains scarce, especially in healthy, middle-aged to older populations.

COVID-19 Related Protocol Considerations and Modifications within a Rural, Community-Engaged Health Promotion Randomized Trial

Methods and Protocols, 2023
