AI Article Synopsis
- Research on the impact of occupation on cardiovascular health in older women is sparse.
- The study analyzed data using American Heart Association's CVH metrics and found specific job categories linked to poor cardiovascular health outcomes.
- Occupations such as bookkeeping, sales supervision, office supervision, and health aide roles were identified as having a higher likelihood of poor overall cardiovascular health compared to non-employment in those fields.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Research on the effect of occupation on cardiovascular health (CVH) among older women is limited.
Methods: Each of the seven American Heart Association's CVH metrics was scored as ideal (1) or non-ideal (0) and summed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of poor overall CVH (CVH score of 0 to 2) comparing women employed in each of the top 20 occupational categories to those not employed in that category, adjusting for age, marital status, and race/ethnicity.
Results: (1) Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks; (2) first-line supervisors of sales workers; (3) first-line supervisors of office and administrative support workers; and (4) nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides were more likely to have poor overall CVH compared to women who did not work in these occupations.
Conclusions: Several commonly held occupations among women were associated with poor CVH.

Background: Most cancer survivors have multiple cardiovascular risk factors, increasing their risk of poor cardiovascular and cancer outcomes. The Automated Heart-Health Assessment (AH-HA) tool is a novel electronic health record clinical decision support tool based on the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics to promote CVH assessment and discussion in outpatient oncology. Before proceeding to future implementation trials, it is critical to establish the acceptability of the tool among providers and survivors.

Introduction: The plasma proteome's mediating or moderating roles in the association between poor cardiovascular health (CVH) and brain white matter (WM) microstructural integrity are largely unknown.
Methods: Data from 3953 UK Biobank participants were used (40-70 years, 2006-2010), with a neuroimaging visit between 2014 and 2021. Poor CVH was determined using Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and reversing standardized z-scores (LE8 ).

Background: Many studies have indicated that adverse cardiovascular health (CVH) behaviors are associated with an elevated risk of depression. However, the dose-response relationship between the two and the relative contributions of individual CVH components to depression risk remain unclear.
Methods: We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2015 and 2018.

Introduction: Poor cardiovascular health (CVH) is linked to Alzheimer's disease and dementia; however, its association with neurocognitive trajectories earlier in life remains underexplored.
Methods: We included 3224 participants with information on CVH at early midlife (mean age 45.0 ± standard deviation 3.

Background: Evidence has firmly established the association between superior cardiovascular health (CVH) and reduced susceptibility to cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). In reality, CVH experiences dynamic fluctuations throughout individuals' lifespans. However, the association between changes in CVH and the impact on CMDs among individuals with different genetic risks remains unclear.
