Background: Psoriatic disease (PsD) is closely associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease. The Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score is a new metric to assess CV health (CVH), where a higher score indicates better CVH. However, the longitudinal association between LE8 score and the risk of PsD remains uncertain.
Objectives: To investigate, in a cohort study, the association between LE8 score, genetic susceptibility and the risk of PsD.
Methods: This cohort study included 261 642 participants in the UK Biobank without PsD at baseline. LE8 comprises eight indicators: diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose and blood pressure. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association between participants' LE8 scores, genetic risk of PsD and the risk of PsD. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.
Results: During an average follow-up of 12.3 years, 1501 participants developed PsD. Compared with participants with low LE8 scores, the HRs of developing PsD for those with moderate and high LE8 scores were 0.51 (95% CI 0.43-0.59) and 0.34 (95% CI 0.27-0.42) after adjustments, respectively. Dose-response analysis revealed a linear negative association between continuous LE8 score and the risk of developing PsD (P < 0.001), with no evidence of nonlinear association detected. Genetic susceptibility to PsD did not modify this association (P-interaction = 0.63). Subgroup analyses revealed that women had a more pronounced beneficial association between LE8 scores and PsD risk (P-interaction = 0.02).
Conclusions: Our study suggests that a higher LE8 score, regardless of genetic risk, is associated with a lower risk of PsD, particularly in women. Consequently, maintaining good CVH status is recommended to prevent PsD and assess associated risks.

Background: There have been many studies of the association between testosterone and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, limited research has examined the association between testosterone and Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a recently updated algorithm for assessing cardiovascular health (CVH).
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the association between serum total testosterone (TT) levels and LE8 scores-where higher LE8 scores indicate better CVH-among adult males in the United States.

Background: Although previous research has substantiated lifestyle and cardiovascular-related measures have some impact on cognitive function, studies focusing on the correlation between Life's Essential 8 (LE8), an indicator for quantifying cardiovascular health (CVH), and cognitive function are limited. Consequently, this study sought to explore the potential link between CVH and cognitive function as well as to determine if depressive states mediated the relationship.
Methods: A total of 2,263 individuals were selected from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to examine the connection between Life's Essential 8 (LE-8) factors and periodontitis, identifying which factors are most strongly linked to this gum disease.
- The research involved analyzing data from over 8,000 participants in a national health survey, revealing that those with periodontitis had lower LE-8 scores compared to those without it, and that higher LE-8 scores correlated with a reduced risk of periodontitis.
- Key LE-8 factors that were significantly associated with lower periodontitis risk included avoiding nicotine, maintaining good sleep health, and having healthy blood glucose levels, suggesting that healthy lifestyle choices can positively affect oral health.
