a
Age-standardization applied to each cardiovascular health metric and the cardiovascular health score (CVH composite score), using 2000 US standard projected population, by age group (18-24 y, 25-44 y, 45-64 y, ≥65 y). The composite score is a 3-level categorical variable that indicates meeting ideal status on 0–2, 3–5, and 6–7 CVHM. Diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol based on self-reported diagnoses.
b
Compared to overweight or obese individuals or people with BMI of 18.5 or less.
c
Weighted percentage presented. Weighted n = 156,525,839; Unweighted n = 347,073.
