Figure 6. Cardiovascular disease incidence by cardiovascular health (CVH) status at baseline.

Figure 6.

Cardiovascular health status at ages 18-30 years was assessed and defined as high (12-14 points), moderate (8-11 points), or low (0-7 points) based on levels of 7 health behaviors and factors. After 30 years’ follow up, cardiovascular event rates were very low in those with high CVH at baseline, and significantly higher for those with moderate or poor CVH, overall and by demographic subgroups. From reference 38.
