Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recently, the American Heart Association introduced Life's Essential 8 (LE8) as a new cardiovascular health (CVH) metric, and studies have reported associations between LE8 and CVH outcomes. However, there is limited understanding of LE8's impact on the risk of transitions between different stages of CVH. The current study investigated whether adhering to LE8 during a healthy stage could mitigate the progression from hypertension (HT) to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and consequent death.</p>
METHODS: The study included 107,682 participants in the UK Biobank who were initially free of HT and CVDs. CVH were evaluated using LE8 metrics (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep duration, body mass index, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure). Multistate models were used to analyse the impacts of LE8 on the progression of CVDs.</p>
RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 12.2 years, 5727 participants developed HT, 7243 developed CVDs, and 1183 died afterwards. LE8 was negatively associated with the dynamic disease progression. A per-10 points increase of CVH scores was significantly associated with the reduced risk [Hazard ratios (95 % confidence intervals)] at 0.71 (0.69, 0.72), 0.83 (0.81, 0.85), 0.79 (0.77, 0.82), and 0.91 (0.86, 0.96) in the transition from healthy to HT, CVDs, death, and from CVDs to death, respectively. Mediation analyses indicated that HT significantly mediated LE8-reduced risks of CVDs and mortality.</p>
CONCLUSIONS: This study offered evidence that LE8 may influence the stages of CVD progression. The findings underscore the significance of adhering to LE8 in health management and CVDs management.</p>
