Core Tip

Core Tip: The American Heart Association defines ideal cardiovascular health as the concurrent presence of ideal health parameters (blood glucose, total cholesterol, and blood pressure levels) and ideal health behaviors (weight status, diet, physical activity, and smoking). Our study design was retrospective and based on the Kailuan study. This prospective study was initiated in July 2006 to evaluate the risk factors and interventions for cardiovascular diseases and cerebrovascular diseases in the Kailuan community population, with several articles having been published on such chronic non-communicable diseases. A fixed population was constituted from these 57659 participants, and their cerebrovascular and cardiovascular health parameters and behaviors were surveyed from 2006 to 2011. Furthermore, the distributions of cardiovascular health parameters and behaviors were portrayed, and their health scores were estimated.
