Zusammenfassung
Ideal cardiovascular health is associated with a decrease in adverse cardiovascular events. The My Research Legacy study examined ideal cardiovascular health using the Life’s Simple 7 survey and data from digital health devices. We hypothesized that digital devices provide a more objective view of overall cardiovascular health status than self-reported measures. Therefore, we analyzed weight and activity data recorded by digital devices to recalculate the Life’s Simple 7 Health Score. All study participants (n = 1561) answered the survey, while a subgroup (n = 390) provided data from digital devices. Individuals with digital devices had a lower body mass index (BMI) and higher weekly minutes of vigorous exercise than participants without digital devices (p < 0.01). Baseline Health Scores were higher in individuals with digital devices compared to those without (7.0 ± 1.6 vs. 6.6 ± 1.6, p < 0.01). Data from digital devices reveal both increases and decreases in measured vs. self-reported BMI (p < 0.04) and weekly minutes of moderate and vigorous exercise activity (p < 0.01). Using these data, a significant difference was found between the recalculated and the self-reported Life’s Simple 7 Health Score (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that incorporation of digital health devices should be considered as part of a precision medicinal approach to assessing ideal cardiovascular health.
