Patterns of lifestyle risk behaviors for cardiovascular disease in family caregivers: a latent class analysis
Our findings reveal the presence of subgroups of caregivers with unique patterns of lifestyle risk behaviors, with most not meeting the recommended levels of health behaviors. Future studies should consider these co-occurring patterns along with the key factors associated with higher-risk lifestyle behavior patterns when developing interventions to promote caregivers' cardiovascular health.
