Background: Relationships between lifestyle risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in women with breast cancer (BC) are underexplored.
Objectives: To evaluate the incidence of CVD in relation to the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score among women with BC.
Methods: Data from the Women's Health Initiative were utilized. The primary exposure was the LE8 score assessed prior to BC diagnosis. The LE8 score was stratified into low (0-59), moderate (60-79), and high (80-100) cardiovascular health (CVH). The primary endpoint was a composite of incident CVD events, which included coronary heart disease, defined as myocardial infarction along with coronary revascularization, CVD death, and stroke. We calculated the cumulative incidence of CVD and estimated hazard ratios.
Results: Among 7,165 participants, the median age was 70.1 years at BC diagnosis. The mean LE8 score was 62.0 ± 12.2. Over a median follow-up period of 6 years, 490 composite CVD events occurred. The risk of CVD events was highest for low CVH compared with moderate and high CVH. Compared with low CVH, the hazard ratio for incident CVD was 0.57 (95% CI: 0.46-0.69) for moderate CVH and 0.34 (95% CI: 0.20-0.59) for high CVH. LE8, in conjunction with age, provided a C-statistic of 0.74 for the composite risk of CVD.
Conclusions: Higher LE8 scores were associated with a lower risk of incident CVD among women with BC in the United States.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is often connected with an elevated cardiovascular disease risk. A novel index, the Life's Essential 8 (LE8), was developed with the American Heart Association (AHA) to ascertain cardiovascular health. In people with diabetes mellitus (DM), we aimed to estimate if LE8 possessed a connection with DKD risk.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is linked to increased all-cause mortality due to metabolic dysfunctions like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This study examines the association between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) scores and both all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in MASLD participants.
Methods: Data from 5,916 MASLD participants in the NHANES (2005-2018) were analyzed.

Background And Objective: Gallstones are a prevalent health issue, with established risk factors such as diet body mass index (BMI) and physical activity. However, the role of Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a composite measure of health behaviors and biological markers, in predicting gallstone risk remains unclear. This study aims to examine the association between LE8 scores and gallstone prevalence in a U.

Background: Glyphosate, as one of the most widely used herbicides worldwide, has been reclassified as a potential carcinogen and linked to multiple health problems. Recent data from animal experiments have proved its potential cardiovascular toxicity. However, whether glyphosate exposure influences human cardiovascular health at the population levels remains unknown.

Background And Aims: Few studies have investigated the association between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and abnormal bowel health. We aimed to investigate the relationship between LE8 and diarrhea and constipation in the adult population of the United States.
Methods: This cross-sectional study, based on population data, utilized information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2005 and 2010.
