Background: The association of cardiovascular health (CVH) with asthma risk in U.S. adults remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the association of Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a measurement of CVH, with asthma and investigate the potential mediating effect of inflammation and oxidative stress.
Methods: The data was obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2005-2018. LE8 score (range 0 ∼ 100) was measured and categorized as low (<50), moderate (50 ∼ <80), and high (≥80) CVH. Survey-weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic spline model were employed to explore the association between LE8 score and asthma. Mediation analyses were conducted to identify the mediating effects of inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers.
Results: This study included 10,932 participants aged ≥ 20 years, among whom 890 (8.14%) reported prevalent asthma. After adjusting for all covariates, the odd ratios (OR) for asthma were 0.67 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.48, 0.94) in the moderate CVH group and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.34, 0.79) in the high CVH group compared with the low CVH group, respectively. The OR for asthma was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.78, 0.93) for every 10 score increase in LE8 score, and linear dose-response relationship was observed ( 0.0642). Mediation analyses showed that inflammation and oxidative stress mediated 15.97% and 11.50% of the association between LE8 score and asthma, respectively (all < 0.05).
Conclusions: LE8 score was negatively associated with asthma, and inflammation and oxidative stress partially mediated this association. It is recommended that maintaining optimal CVH may prevent asthma.

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).

Disruptions to brain networks, measured using structural (sMRI), diffusion (dMRI), or functional (fMRI) MRI, have been shown in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), highlighting the relevance of regions in the core of the connectome but yielding mixed results depending on the studied connectivity domain. Using a multilayer network approach, we integrated these three modalities to portray an enriched representation of the brain's core-periphery organization and explore its alterations in PwMS. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we selected PwMS and healthy controls with complete multimodal brain MRI acquisitions from 13 European centers within the MAGNIMS network.

Objectives: To explore the relationship between Life's Essential 8 (LE-8) and periodontitis, specifically focusing on identifying the specific factors within LE-8 significantly linked to periodontitis.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2009-2014), involving 8160 participants with available LE-8 metrics and periodontal examination results. The LE-8 metrics, encompassing diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, blood liquids, blood glucose, and blood pressure were collected for analysis.
