The Associations of Adverse Psychological Factors and the Presence of 6–7 Ideal Metrics by AHA's LS7 Criteria Compared with <6 Ideal LS7 Metrics
| Psychological factors | Women OR (95% CI) | Men OR (95% CI) | p value for sex interaction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stress | 0.65 (0.54–0.79) | 0.51 (0.26–0.98) | 0.39 |
| Depression | 0.64 (0.41–1.00) | —a | 0.98 |
| Low life satisfaction | 0.66 (0.45–0.97) | 1.31 (0.66–2.61) | 0.03 |
| Hopelessness | 0.60 (0.34–1.06) | 0.33 (0.04–2.46) | 0.48 |
| Sadness | 0.65 (0.36–1.17) | 0.45 (0.06–3.34) | 0.69 |
| Anxiety | 0.65 (0.45–0.95) | 0.26 (0.04–1.92) | 0.34 |
The results are expressed as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) comparing individuals with 6–7 ideal LS7 metrics to reference category of individuals with <6 ideal LS7 metrics. An OR <1 is consistent with less likely to be associated with having 6–7 ideal LS7 metrics. Models are adjusted for age, ethnicity, and education.
