Association of life's essential 8 with mortality among the individuals with cardiovascular disease.

This study explores the association between LE8 scores and mortality risks among individuals diagnosed with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Utilizing data from the NHANES conducted between 2005 and 2018, survey-weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were utilized. Life's Essential 8 (LE8) scores dose-response associations were assessed using restricted cubic spline regression. Sub-analyses were performed for different categories of CVD. The study consisted of 2164 participants diagnosed with CVD, ranging in age from 20 to 80 years (weighted mean [SE] age, 61.47 [0.34] years; The average total LE8 was 64.97 [0.54]. 499 participants experienced mortality, with 350 deaths attributed to CVD. After accounting for potential covariates, LE8 score was found to be associated with a decreased both all-cause mortality (OR 0.34, CI 0.22-0.51) and CVD mortality (OR 0.40, CI 0.23-0.68). A survey-weighted multivariable Cox model with restricted cubic splines identified the lowest all-cause mortality (P < 0.001) and CVD mortality (P < 0.001) risk when LE8 reach at 63.75 (P < 0.001). The results highlight the association between LE8 scores and reduced mortality in CVD patient population. The implementation of comprehensive initiatives that prioritize healthy dietary patterns, will play a crucial role in alleviating the impact of cardiovascular disease and improving cardiovascular health outcomes.

Independent and joint associations of monocyte to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio and body mass index with cardiorenal syndrome: insights from NHANES 2003-2020.

BACKGROUND: With the development of pathophysiology, cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), a complex and severe disease, has received increasing attention. Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio (MHR) and body mass index (BMI) are independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, but their association with CRS remains unexplored. This study aims to explore the independent and joint effects of MHR and BMI on CRS. METHODS: We included 42,178 NHANES participants. The determination of CRS referred to the simultaneous presence of cardiovascular disease (identified through self-report) and chronic kidney disease (eGFR < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m²). We employed multivariate weighted logistic regression to evaluate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the independent and joint associations of MHR and BMI with CRS. We also conducted restricted cubic spines to explore nonlinear associations. RESULTS: The prevalence of CRS was 3.45% among all participants. An increase in both MHR and BMI is associated with a higher risk of CRS (MHR: OR = 1.799, 95% CI = 1.520-2.129, P < 0.001, P-trend < 0.001; BMI: OR = 1.037, 95% CI = 1.023-1.051, P < 0.001). Individuals who simultaneously fall into the highest quartile of MHR and have a BMI of 30 or more face the highest risk of CRS compared to those in the lowest MHR quartile with a BMI of less than 25 (OR = 3.45, 95% CI = 2.40-4.98, P < 0.001). However, there is no interactive association between MHR and BMI with CRS. CONCLUSIONS: Higher MHR and BMI are associated with higher odds of CRS. MHR and BMI can serve as tools for early prevention and intervention of CRS, respectively.
