], 6 metrics were used to define and monitor the status of cardiovascular health . Interview questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory measurements were used to collect data for each metric. The cutoff points for poor, intermediate, and ideal status in each CVH metric are listed in Supplemental Table
Data on demographic characteristics, medical histories, and lifestyle were gathered using standardized questionnaires administered in person by trained interviewers. Age, gender, residence, ethnic group, marital status, education, alcohol consumption, illness history, and so on. Physical examinations of participants were performed by experienced physicians and nurses in accordance with a standardized protocol, including weight, height, and blood pressure, among other things.
The second step was to use a restricted cubic spline with four knots to see if the relationship between CVH score and all-cause mortality fit the linear model. To confirm whether the CVH score meets the proportion hazard assumption, a survival curve with cumulative hazard was generated.
