Key Points Question Are trajectories of overall cardiovascular health over time, as assessed by the cardiovascular health score repeatedly in 2006, 2008, and 2010, associated with subsequent risk of cardiovascular disease? Findings In this population-based study of 74 701 Chinese adults, 5 cardiovascular health score trajectories were identified. Relative to the lowest measured trajectory, the highest measured trajectory was associated with a 79% lower subsequent risk of cardiovascular disease after adjusting for age, sex, educational level, income, occupation, alcohol intake, and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein concentrations at baseline. Meaning Long-term cardiovascular health trajectories may be associated with subsequent cardiovascular disease morbidity.
