Favorable self-rated health is associated with ideal cardiovascular health: a cohort study.
Both self‑rated health (SRH) and the cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics of the American Heart Association have been reported as predictors of cardiovascular events. However, a longitudinal study of the relationships between these metrics has not been conducted before. ⋯ Changes in SRH ratings might accurately reflect changes in CVH metrics. Our longitudinal study demonstrated that SRH was significantly associated with the number of ideal CVH metrics. Our findings provide epidemiological evidence for future public health strategies targeting cardiovascular disease.
