Background A higher burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors has been reported in sexual minority populations. Primordial prevention may therefore be a relevant preventative strategy. The study's objectives are to estimate the associations of Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and Life's Simple 7 (LS7) cardiovascular health scores with sexual minority status.

Cardiovascular health in young adulthood and structural brain MRI in midlife: The CARDIA study.

Neurology

August 2017

From Northwestern University (M.P.B., N.B.A., D.M.L.-J.), Chicago, IL; Mount Sinai Medical Center Radiology (P.D.), Miami Beach, FL; National Institute on Aging (L.J.L.); National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (J.P.R.), Bethesda, MD; Kaiser Permanente Northern California (S.S.), Oakland; University of Mississippi Medical Center (Y.Y.), Jackson; and University of Minnesota (P.J.S.), Minneapolis.

Objective: To examine the association between the American Heart Association (AHA) Life's Simple 7 (LS7) metric and brain structure.

Methods: We determined cardiovascular health (CVH) according to the AHA LS7, assigning 0, 1, or 2 points for meeting poor, intermediate, or ideal criteria for the 7 components (range 0-14) at baseline (aged 18-30 years in 1985-1986) and year 25 follow-up examination for 518 participants of the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) brain MRI substudy. Visit-based CVH score and average score was assessed in relation to percent of intracranial volume of normal tissue of the whole brain, gray matter, and white matter, and abnormal tissue volume of white matter at year 25 using multivariable linear, logistic, and quantile regression, after adjustment for age, sex, race, field center, educational attainment, and alcohol consumption.

Background: Despite the progress made to decrease risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, disparities still exist. We examined how education and ethnicity interact to determine disparities in cardiovascular health (CVH) as defined by the American Heart Association.

Hypothesis: Education modifies the effect of ethnicity on CVH.
