  1. CVH indicates cardiovascular health; HR, hazard ratios; CI, confidence interval; Cox proportional hazards regression was performed.
  2. aModel 1: Adjusted for CVH metrics score at baseline.
  3. bModel 2: Adjusted for age, women, CVH metrics score at baseline.
  4. cModel 3: Adjusted for age, women, education, income, CVH metrics score at baseline.
