摘要
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular health(CVH)plays a crucial role in overall health,but its association with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)remains unclear.AIM To investigate the relationship between CVH,measured using Life’s Essential 8(LE8)and Life’s Simple 7(LS7),and the prevalence of MAFLD.METHODS This cross-sectional study had a sample of 2234 individuals,representing approximately 120 million individuals in the United States.Baseline parameters were compared between the LE8 and LS7 groups.Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the relationship between LE8,LS7,and MAFLD,while taking into account confounding factors.The investigation employed restricted cubic splines to investigate non-linear associations.Subgroup analyses and sensitivity studies were performed to evaluate the strength and reliability of the results.RESULTS Higher LE8 and LS7 scores were significantly associated with a decreased risk of MAFLD,even after controlling for demographic,socioeconomic,and clinical variables.This association demonstrated a non-linear pattern,with the most dramatic risk reduction observed at higher CVH levels.Individual CVH components,notably healthy behaviors and factors,exhibited strong relationships with MAFLD.Subgroup analyses indicated consistent relationships across several demographics.Sensitivity tests utilizing other MAFLD definitions validated the robustness of the findings.CONCLUSION Higher adherence to CVH criteria,as indicated by LE8 and LS7 scores,is associated with a significantly lower risk of MAFLD.These results emphasize the need to advance CVH to control and avoid MAFLD.
