Background: The AHA recommends focusing on seven traditional risk factors (Life’s Simple 7) for cardiovascular health promotion, primarily based on their impact on the risk of incident cardiovascular disease. However, the contribution of Life’s simple 7 in mid-life to prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI) in later life is unknown. Methods: In 13,500 participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study (age 45-64 years) at Visit 1 (1987-1989), a 14-point score of Life’s simple 7 was constructed according to the status of each of seven factors (smoking, body mass index, physical activity, dietary quality, total cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose). We quantified the association between this score and adverse outcomes after validated incident hospitalized MI occurring during ARIC follow-up, using Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for age at MI, gender, race, and year of MI occurrence. Results: 1,341 participants had a definite or probable hospitalized MI after the ARIC baseline visit (median elapsed time between baseline and MI occurrence, 24.4 years [IQR 17.5-25.4]). Of these, 807 (60%) had cardiovascular outcomes of interest after MI during a median follow-up of 3.0 years. Higher Life’s Simple 7 score (better cardiovascular health) in middle-age was associated with lower risk of adverse outcomes after MI in later life (Table). For example, individuals with Life’s Simple 7 score ≥10 had 50-80% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality, recurrent MI, and heart failure compared to those with score ≤3. The associations were largely consistent across years of MI occurrence and when we restricted the follow-up after MI to 1-3 years. Conclusion: A better AHA Life’s Simple 7 in middle-age was associated not only with lower incidence but also with a lower risk of adverse outcomes after MI in later life. Our findings suggest a secondary prevention benefit of striving for ideal CV health status in mid-life, further supporting AHA promotion of Life’s Simple 7.

Abstract Background/Introduction Practice guidelines are agreed on the importance of lifestyle advice for cardiovascular risk reduction as well as cardiovascular risk prediction in planning preventive strategies. Purpose To assess the clinical usefulness of the application of the predictive model of cardiovascular risk (CVR) IberScore combined with the recommendations of “Life's Simple 7” (LS7) of the American Heart Association (AHA) in a working population. Methods IberScore model is a predictive function for fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular (CV) events derived from a cohort of 774,404 workers (70.4% of the target population) between 16–65 years (average of 35.7 (SD = 10.7)) without CV disease at admission, which was followed for a period of 10 years. Age, sex, total cholesterol, HDL, SBP, glycemia, obesity and a history of dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes were used as factors of CVR. Using this model, patients were classified into 4 risk levels. It was also assessed the ideal health status according to the recommendations of “Life's Simple 7” (which includes healthy diet, physical activity, smoking cessation, BMI <25 kg/m2, total cholesterol without treatment <200mg/dl, blood pressure without treatment <120/80 mmHg and basal glycemia <100 mg/dl). Finally, these classifications were compared with the appearance of CV events in a 10-year follow-up. Results The results showed a high sensitivity (given that the predictive capacity reached 82% of the cardiovascular events) by using the IberScore, a logistic flexible parametric model to predict 10-year cardiovascular risk. Likewise, the clinical usefulness of the “Life's Simple 7” recommendations could be verified in order to reduce the incidence of total CV events (fatal and non-fatal). Conclusions The integration of the predictive model IberScore with the preventive recommendations “Life's simple 7” of the AHA applied to the working population would allow a more efficient cardiovascular prevention.

Abstract Background Greater arterial stiffness is associated independently with increased cardiovascular disease risk. The American Heart Association (AHA) has recommended following “Life’s Simple 7 (LS7)” to optimize cardiovascular health; we tested whether better LS7 in middle age is associated with less arterial stiffness in later life. Methods We studied 4,232 black and white participants aged 45–64 years at the baseline (1987–89) visit of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study cohort who also had arterial stiffness measured in 2011–13 (mean ± SD interval: 23.6 ± 1.0 years). We calculated a 14-point summary score for baseline LS7 and classified participants as having “poor” (0–4), “average” (5–9), or “ideal” (10–14) cardiovascular health. We used logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for arterial stiffening: a high carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV, ≥13.23 m/s) or a high central pulse pressure (central PP, ≥ 82.35 mm Hg). Results The age, race, sex, and heart rate-adjusted ORs (95% CI) for high cfPWV in the “ideal,” “average,” and “poor” LS7 summary categories were 1 (Reference), 1.30 (1.11, 1.53), and 1.68 (1.10,2.56), respectively (P-trend = 0.0003). Similarly, the adjusted ORs (95% CI) for high central PP across LS7 summary categories were 1 (Reference), 1.48 (1.27, 1.74), and 1.63 (1.04, 2.56), respectively (P-trend <0.0001). Conclusion Greater LS7 score in middle age is associated with less arterial stiffness 2–3 decades later. These findings further support the AHA recommendation to follow LS7 for cardiovascular disease prevention.
