Is Improving Educational Attainment Key to Reducing the Burden Because of Cardiovascular Diseases?
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) impose a substantial global public health burden, accounting for significant mortality and disability worldwide, particularly because of conditions like coronary heart disease and stroke. The economic consequences of CVDs, including healthcare expenses, decreased productivity, and diminished quality of life, further contribute to this burden. Lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption are closely associated with CVDs.

Usefulness of The American Heart Association's Ideal Cardiovascular Health Measure to Predict Long-term Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (From the Heart SCORE Study)
To further reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and expand prevention efforts, the American Heart Association (AHA) introduced in 2010 the concept of Ideal Cardiovascular Health (ICH), which includes seven metrics (smoking status, body mass index, physical activity, diet, total cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose). Limited data exist on the relationship between ICH and long-term CVD risk. The Heart Strategies Concentrating on Risk Evaluation (Heart SCORE) study cohort was used to examine the relationship between ICH and incident major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: first occurrence of ...
