CVH, indicates cardiovascular health.

A linear model was used for the analysis, per additional ideal metric and per 1‐point increase in the 12‐point CVH score.

^{^†}

Cardiovascular disease was adjusted for sex, age, economic status, Hospital Frailty Score, and living in metropolitan cities, and competing risk of death.

^{^‡}

P<0.0083 for differences reported.

^{^§}

All‐cause mortality was adjusted for sex, age, economic status, Hospital Frailty Score, and living in metropolitan cities.
