Background: The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). Methods: The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2022 Statistical Update is the product of a full year’s worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year’s edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population and an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, and the global burden of cardiovascular disease and healthy life expectancy. Results: Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. Conclusions: The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

“…The health of elderly and successful ageing has become an important social topic in China. Physical activity has been suggested to be beneficial for both physical and mental health [2][3][4][5]. Epidemiological studies have presented that physical activity is associated with reduced risks of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases [6][7][8].…”

Physical activity and health are of significant importance for the rapid aging population in China. Built environment has been suggested to be associated with elderly physical activity and health. However, the association differences between cities remain unclear. Perceived built environment scores and elderly leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) of 308 elderly in Hangzhou and 304 elderly in Wenzhou were collected using Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire, respectively. A multivariate linear regression method and T-test were used to analyze of the associations between elderly LTPA and built environment and the differences between the two cities, respectively. The results showed that LTPA was positively associated with walking/cycling facilities and crime safety in both cities. LTPA was positively correlated with residential density, aesthetics, pedestrian/traffic safety in Wenzhou and negatively correlated with access to services in Hangzhou. The perceived scores of aesthetics (2.71 vs. 2.45) and pedestrian/traffic safety (2.11 vs. 1.71) in Hangzhou were significantly higher than those in Wenzhou. The results suggested that built environment elements like higher walking/cycling facilities and crime safety may motivate elderly engaging LTPA in both cities. However, LTPA was affected by different factors in these two cities. In the urban redevelopment, survey conducted in its own city would provide meaningful information and cannot be neglected.

Background The change of cardiovascular health (CVH) status has been associated with risk of cardiovascular disease. However, no studies have explored the change patterns of CVH in relation to risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). We aim to examine the link between baseline CVH and change of CVH over time with the risk of SCD. Methods and Results Analyses were conducted in the prospective cohort ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study, started in 1987 to 1989. ARIC enrolled 15 792 individuals 45 to 64 years of age from 4 US communities (Forsyth County, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Washington County, Maryland). Subjects with 0 to 2, 3 to 4, and 5 to 7 ideal metrics of CVH were categorized as having poor, intermediate, or ideal CVH, respectively. Change in CVH over 6 years between 1987 to 1989 and 1993 to 1995 was considered. The primary study outcome was physician adjudicated SCD. The study population consisted of 15 026 subjects, of whom 12 207 had data about CVH change. Over a median follow‐up of 23.0 years, 583 cases of SCD were recorded. There was a strong inverse association between baseline CVH metrics and time varying CVH metrics with risk of SCD. Compared with subjects with consistently poor CVH, risk of SCD was lower in those changed from poor to intermediate/ideal (hazard ratio [HR], 0.67 [95% CI, 0.48–0.94]), intermediate to poor (HR, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.54–0.99]), intermediate to ideal (HR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.24–0.99]), ideal to poor/intermediate CVH (HR, 0.23 [95% CI, 0.10–0.52]), or those with consistently intermediate (HR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.36–0.66]) or consistently ideal CVH (HR, 0.31 [95% CI, 0.13–0.76]). Similar results were also observed for non‐SCD. Conclusions Compared with consistently poor CVH, other patterns of change in CVH were associated with lower risk of SCD. These findings highlight the importance of promotion of ideal CVH in the primordial prevention of SCD.

High Leisure-Time Physical Activity Is Associated With Reduced Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death Among Men With Low Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Abstract: It seems that low LTPA increases the risk of SCD particularly among men with low CRF but the level of LTPA does not modify the incidence of SCD among men with high CRF.
