Life Essentials 8 score and risk of metabolic syndrome: A dose-response analysis in the US population
While our studies suggest a potential association between cardiovascular health factors and reduced MetS risk, the cross-sectional nature of our study limits causal inferences. The LE8 score could still serve as a useful screening tool to identify individuals at high risk for MetS, facilitating targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
