Ideal cardiovascular health and the subclinical impairments of cardiovascular diseases: a cross-sectional study in central south China

Abstract: BackgroundIdeal cardiovascular health (CVH) is related to a low cardiovascular disease risk profile. This study aimed to investigate CVH metrics with both the biomarkers and markers of subclinical impairments of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in subjects from central south China.MethodsThe ideal CVH score (non-smoking status; ideal body mass index; regular physical activity; healthy diet; and an optimal serum cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose profile; 1 point for each; total score: 0–7) was collected fr… Show more

“…Our results are similar to a study conducted to investigate the association between CVH metrics and biomarkers (hsCRP and homocysteine) among 3009 Chinese adults between the ages of 24 and 85 years, without a history of CVD 7. In that study, after adjusting for age, sex and education, a unit increment in CVH score was inversely related to biomarker concentration (CRP: −0.182 (−0.652, −0.457); homocysteine: −0.092 (−0.930, −0.426)).…”

“…For example, in a prior analysis from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), poor CVH was found to be associated with higher levels of GlycA (a novel inflammatory marker) and higher levels of traditional inflammatory markers [high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), fibrinogen and D-dimer] 6. However, research on the sex differences of the relationship of CVH with CVD-related biomarkers is sparse 7…”

“…Hyperglycemia: The American Diabetes Association defines hospital related hyperglycemia as FBG > 6.9 mmol/L or RBG > 11.1 mmol/L without diabetes history, diabetic patients who are always above the normal blood glucose upper limit could also be classified into hyperglycemia group (14). In the research, RBG > 11.1 mmol/L was defined as elevated RBG regardless of a history of diabetes.…”

“…Baseline data including demographic data, blood pressure, Killip grade, anamnesis and personal history were all recorded. Standard methods were used to measure the resting systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and BMI [14]. The Hematological examination indicators including plasma blood glucose were measured in the laboratory of our hospital.…”

“…One possible reason for this was that patients might receive more attention and through care from providers to detect and manage CVH by virtue of reviewing cancer screening and other risk factor data. At the population level, better CVH is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancers [34,35]. Thus, cancer screenings may indirectly decrease burden and cost on the health system (e.g., CVD and cancers) by improving patient CVH health.…”
