- Out of 875 participants, many experienced moderate to severe anxiety or depression, which correlated with poorer levels in areas like physical activity, body mass index, and sleep.
- The findings suggest that addressing mental health issues may enhance CVH, indicating the need for interventions that promote healthy behaviors like exercise and proper sleep.
