CI indicates confidence interval.
*
Odds ratios were adjusted for the other Life's Simple 7 components shown in the table plus age, sex, race, education category, income category, region, atrial fibrillation, left ventricular hypertrophy, atherosclerotic disease, and time interval from baseline to most recent 3‐test measure.
*
Intermediate and ideal categories for smoking were combined because of low numbers in the intermediate category. Intermediate and ideal categories for healthy diet score were combined because of low numbers in the ideal category.
