CVH indicates cardiovascular health; NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; PR, prevalence ratio.
Non‐Hispanic Asians, non‐Hispanic multiracial, and non‐Hispanic other race.
Reference group.
A score of 0, 1, or 2 was assigned to each cardiovascular health metric to represent poor, intermediate, or ideal health. On the basis of the sum of scores for all 7 cardiovascular metrics, an overall score, ranging from 0 to 14, was categorized as inadequate (0–4), average (5–9), or optimum (10–14) cardiovascular health.
A ratio of family income to poverty guidelines.
