It's never too early, it's never too late: the potential of health behaviours for cardiovascular health in nonagenarians. Data from the Mugello Study.
Abstract
The Life's Essential 8 (LE8) is a composite metric including four health behaviours (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, and sleep) and four health factors (body mass index, non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure). This study aimed to describe the cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics promoted by LE8 in nonagenarians and to investigate their relationship with mortality at five and ten years.

Research summary
The study investigates the relationship between health behaviors and cardiovascular health in nonagenarians, suggesting that these behaviors can influence mortality outcomes. This research is relevant as it explores health behaviors that may contribute to longevity and overall cardiovascular health in an aging population.
