Figure 1. The Life's Simple 7 and iterations of potential “Essential Eight” CVH scores that include sleep in relation to CVD.

Figure 1

The AHA's LS7 score and 4 iterations of potential “Essential Eight” scores, that include the same LS7 metrics but additionally incorporate sleep, were evaluated in relation to CVD risk. The upper panel shows the LS7 and alternate CVH scores in relation to prevalent CVD using multivariable logistic models in 1920 adults in the MESA Sleep Study. The lower panel shows associations of the LS7 score and alternate CVH scores with risk of developing new CVD using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race and ethnicity, education, health insurance, and alcohol use. AHA indicates American Heart Association; CVD, cardiovascular disease; CVH, cardiovascular health; HR, hazard ratio; LS7, Life's Simple 7; MESA, Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis; and OR, odds ratio.
