Abstract
BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association recently updated Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score. This amalgamation of health factors, recognized for their individual associations with chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk, provides a robust tool to assess overall cardiovascular health (CVH), which could potentially be extrapolated to predict CKD risk.</p>
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the association between levels of CVH, as measured by the LE8 score, and risk of CKD in the UK Biobank.</p>
METHODS: A total of 147,988 participants free of CKD and cardiovascular disease from the UK Biobank were included in this prospective study. CVH levels were categorized as low (0-49), moderate (50-79), and high (80-100) using LE8 score. An adjusted Cox proportional hazard model was used to investigate the association between LE8 and CKD. The population attributable-risk (PAR) was also calculated.</p>
RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 10 y, 1936 CKD cases were documented. A higher LE8 score was associated with a significant lower risk of CKD (P < 0.001), and a linear dose-response relationship was observed. Similar patterns were also found in the associations of the LE8 behavior and biological subscale scores with CKD. Compared with participants with a low CVH category, participants with a moderate CVH were associated with a 39% lower risk of developing CKD (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.52, 0.72); and those with a high CVH had a 57% lower risk of CKD incidence (HR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.35, 0.53) after adjustment for covariates. Among 8 distinct metrics of LE8 score, the BMI metric had the highest PAR (24.6%; 95% CI: 18.8, 30.2). Of the total CKD risk, 3.2% (95% CI: 1.4, 5.0) was attributable to inadequate or excessive sleep duration.</p>
CONCLUSIONS: High CVH, defined by LE8, is significantly associated with a lower risk of CKD. These results suggest that promoting optimal cardiovascular health may lower the burden of CKD.</p>
