Cox regression analysis of adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for mortality outcomes by cardiovascular health scores. Hazard ratios for all-cause, cardio-cerebrovascular (CCD), and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality are presented across different levels of Life’s Simple 7 (LS7, panel A), Life’s Essential 8 (LE8, panel B), and Life’s Crucial 9 (LC9, panel C). Hazard ratios were adjusted for age (continuous), sex (male or female), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black or other race), education level (below high school, high school, or above high school), marital status (married/living with partner, or single/divorced/widowed), family PIR (≤ 1.0, 1.1–3.0, or > 3.0), and drinking status (never drinker, former drinker, or current drinker). Detailed numerical estimates for LS7, LE8, and LC9 are provided in Table S5, Table S6, and Table S7, respectively
