The Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score and its components were calculated in self-reported Asian American individuals ≥20 years of age and free of cardiovascular disease in the NHANES cycles from 2011-March 2020. Multivariable adjusted linear and logistic regression models were used for analysis. Among 2,059 Asian American individuals, the weighted mean LE8 score was 69.1 (0.4) with US-born [69.0 (0.8)] and foreign-born individuals [69.1 (0.4)] having similar CVH. From 2011 to March 2020, CVH in the overall population [69.7 (0.8) to 68.1 (0.8); Ptrend: 0.009] and foreign-born individuals [69.7 (0.8) to 67.7 (0.8); Ptrend: 0.005] declined. Decreasing trends were noted in the body mass index score irrespective of stratification and in the blood pressure scores in the overall population and foreign-born Asian American individuals. Compared with US-born individuals, the odds of ideal levels of smoking [ORadj:<5 years: 2.23 (95%CI: 1.45–3.44); 5–15 years: 1.97 (95%CI: 1.27–3.05); 15–30 years: 1.61 (95%CI: 1.11–2.34); ≥30 years: 1.69(95%CI:1.20–2.36)] and diet [ORadj: <5 years: 1.87 (95%CI: 1.26–2.79); 5–15 years: 2.00 (95%CI: 1.38–2.89); 15–30 years: 1.74 (95%CI: 1.14–2.68)] were higher in foreign-born individuals. Foreign-born individuals had lower odds of ideal physical activity levels [ORadj: 5–15 years: 0.55 (95%CI: 0.39–0.79); 15–30 years: 0.68 (95%CI: 0.49–0.95)] and ideal cholesterol levels [ORadj: 5–15 years: 0.59 (95%CI: 0.42–0.82); 15–30 years: 0.54 (95%CI :0.38–0.76); ≥30 years: 0.52 (95%CI: 0.38–0.76)]. The CVH in Asian American individuals declined from 2011 to March 2020. The odds of ideal CVH decreased with increasing duration of stay in the US, with foreign-born individuals residing in the US for ≥30 years having ∼28% lower odds of ideal CVH compared with US-born individuals.","journal":"American Journal of Preventive Cardiology","year":2023,"id":338428,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":17,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.7991,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":374781,"name":"Nirav Patel","orcid":"0000-0003-1798-1880","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":51211,"name":"Mokshad Gaonkar","orcid":"0000-0003-0309-6813","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":301659,"name":"Rajat Kalra","orcid":"0000-0002-8982-0595","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":51220,"name":"Peng Li","orcid":"0000-0002-9026-9999","position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":783706,"name":"Gregory Pavela","orcid":"0000-0001-5750-4021","position":5,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":51221,"name":"Garima Arora","orcid":"0000-0001-6402-6910","position":6,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":51222,"name":"Pankaj Arora","orcid":"0000-0003-2420-3550","position":7,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":51209,"name":"Naman S.
