Comparison of four healthy lifestyle scores for predicting cardiovascular events in a national cohort study

Abstract The protective effect of different healthy lifestyle scores for the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) was reported, although the comparisons of performance were lacking. We compared the performance measures of CVDs from different healthy lifestyle scores among Taiwanese adults. We conduc...
