The role of Life's Crucial 9 in cardiovascular disease incidence and dynamic transitions to dementia.
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) often coexists with dementia as the contributor to disease burden in the aging population. Although the effects of several modifiable factors on the CVD and dementia risk have been increasingly recognized, their impacts on their dynamic transitions have not yet been explored. Therefore, we aimed to explore the role of Life's Crucial 9 (LC9; which includes measurements for diet, physical activity, smoking, BMI, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep, and psychological health) in the dynamic transitions of CVD and dementia.

Research summary
The paper investigates the influence of Life's Crucial 9 on the transitions between cardiovascular disease and dementia. This research is relevant as it addresses modifiable lifestyle factors that may impact aging-related diseases, contributing to a better understanding of their interconnections and potential prevention strategies.
