AHA LS7: American Heart Association Life’s Simple 7; BMI: Body Mass Index; CVH: cardiovascular health
Evening-type defined as MEQ score of 16–41, intermediate-type defined as MEQ score of 42–58, and morning-type defined as MEQ scores of 59–86
All models were adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, education, health insurance, and menopausal status
For total AHA LS7 score, models examined associations with chronotype with odds of having a low AHA LS7 score i.e. poor cardiovascular health
For individual AHA LS7 criteria, models examined chronotype in relation to odds of not meeting the ideal guideline for each criterion (low/intermediate vs. high), with the exception of diet, where models examined chronotype in relation to odds of having a low vs. intermediate/high diet score, given the very low prevalence of an ideal diet in this study.
