Association of quantified cardiovascular health status with all-cause mortality risk in prediabetic patients

Figure 1 Association between different cardiovascular health statuses and cumulative mortality risk in prediabetic patients. As the number of months of follow-up increases (X-axis, 140 months in 2007 for National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey patients), survival (Y-axis) varies by cardiovascular health status. Notably, only the original cumulative mortality data are shown in Figure 1, and the covariate-adjusted mortality risk data are shown in Table 2. The solid lines indicate cumulative mortality, and the solid lines indicate confidence intervals.

Figure 2 Dose-response relationship between the total cardiovascular health score of the Life's Essential 8 and all-cause mortality risk in patients with prediabetes. A: All participants; B: Stratified analysis was performed according to age group (older than 60 years or younger); C: Stratified analysis was performed according to sex (male or female); D: Stratified analysis was performed according to anemia status (defined as hemoglobin < 12 mg/dL in men and < 11 mg/dL in women); E: A stratified analysis was performed according to the income-to-poverty ratio (higher than the study population median of 2.06 or not); F: Stratified analysis was performed according to the presence of cardiovascular disease (defined as any myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, angina attack, or coronary heart disease, as diagnosed by a physician).

Figure 3 Associations of individual cardiovascular health component scores, health behaviors and indicators with all-cause mortality risk in patients with prediabetes. A: Association between individual cardiovascular health component scores and all-cause mortality risk in patients with prediabetes (high for ≥ 50 points, otherwise low); B: Association of the mean score of health behaviors or indicators with all-cause mortality risk in patients with prediabetes. Covariates included age (greater than 60 years or not), sex (male or female), ethnicity (black, white, or other people), income and poverty rate (higher than the study population median 2.06 or not), cardiovascular disease (defined as any one of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, angina attack, or coronary heart disease, as diagnosed by a physician), and anemia (defined as hemoglobin < 12 mg/dL in men and < 11 mg/dL in women). ALQ110: At least 12 servings of alcohol in a lifetime; CVD: Cardiovascular disease.
