Cardiovascular Health Score and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in the Million Veteran Program
In this cohort study of US veterans, higher LE8 scores were associated with significantly lower ASCVD incidence risk and lower likelihood of developing adverse cardiovascular events regardless of ASCVD status at baseline. These results support the utility of LE8 for health promotion and ASCVD prevention.
