CVH indicates cardiovascular health; HR, hazard ratios; CI, confidence interval; TC, total cholesterol; BP, blood pressure; FBG, fasting blood glucose; BMI, body mass index; Cox proportional hazards regression was performed.

aAdjusted for age, gender, education, income, CVH score at baseline and 6 indicator variables representing the 7 possible baseline CVH metrics.
