Figure 1. Unadjusted Incident Premature CVD and Mortality Rates by Baseline CVH Category.

Figure 1.

Incidence rates were very low during long-term follow-up among individuals with high baseline cardiovascular health (CVH) compared with rates among individuals with low or moderate baseline CVH, both overall and across sociodemographic subgroups. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) includes myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, transient ischemic attack, hospitalized unstable angina, carotid or peripheral arterial disease requiring intervention, or other fatal heart or atherosclerotic disease. For CVD death, underlying causes of death included coronary or other heart disease, stroke, or other definite atherosclerotic disease. HS, high school education.
