Individual association of each individual metric and their combination. HRs and 95% CIs associated with each of the seven ideal metrics and their combination for the risk of major cardiovascular events in the RIVANA cohort (n = 3826). Models were adjusted for age (continuous), sex, higher level of attained education (primary or less, secondary, and college/university), and occupation (executives/managers, clerical workers, and manual workers). Additionally, when an individual metric of the ICVH score was the exposure of interest, the model was mutually adjusted for the other metrics of the ICVH score. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; kg/m2, kilograms per (meter squared); mg/dL milligrams per deciliter; min/w, minutes per week; mo, months; mm/Hg, millimeters of mercury
