Low prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health in the general Swedish population : Results from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS)
(2023) In Scandinavian Journal of Public Health 51(4). p.527-530- Abstract
The aim of the current study was to examine the prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health (iCVH) in the general Swedish middle-aged population. To address this aim, we utilised data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) which is a large Swedish population-based study (N=30,154) that combined comprehensive state-of-the-art imaging technology with clinical examinations and included all iCVH components. A total iCVH score was calculated as the number of iCVH metrics at an ideal level for the seven components and classified as: ideal (⩾5 ideal components), intermediate (3–4 ideal components) and poor (⩽2 ideal components). Our results showed that only 18.2% of the population reached ideal status (i.e. ⩾5 components at the... (More)

Our results showed that only 18.2% of the population reached ideal status (i.e. ⩾5 components at the ideal level), whereas 51.9% were classified as intermediate status and 29.9% as poor status of iCVH. Women had a higher prevalence of iCVH status (23.9% vs. 12.0%) and a lower prevalence of poor iCVH status (23.5% vs. 36.8%). Our data may serve as benchmarks for future national and international comparisons and motivate efforts to promote cardiovascular health in the general population, given the strong link between iCVH with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality and morbidity.
