The relationship between healthy lifestyle score and incident cardiovascular disease: results from Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEvidence on the combined impact of healthy lifestyle factors on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the Iranian population is limited. This study aimed to examine the association between a healthy lifestyle score (HLS) and the incidence of CVD.
methodsThis prospective cohort study, including 5419 adults aged over 35 years, was performed in the framework of the Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS) which is an ongoing study. The HLS (ranging from 0 (unhealthy) to 4 (most healthy)) was derived from four modifiable risk factors: never smoking, diet quality, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI). Investigated cardiovascular outcomes included myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, unstable angina (UA), and CVD mortality. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and assigned 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsOver a median follow-up of 11.25 years, 785 CVD events occurred, including 159 MI, 164 stroke, 369 UA, and 172 CVD deaths. In the fully-adjusted model, participants with the highest HLS (3-4) had a significantly lower risk of stroke (HR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.31-0.83; P trend = 0.019) and a tendency towards lower risk of CVD (HR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.61-0.98; P trend = 0.053) compared to individuals with the lowest HLS (0-1). No significant association was found for MI, UA, or CVD mortality. Age- and sex-specific patterns were also noted for stroke and overall CVD.
conclusionOur results suggest that a healthier lifestyle was linked to a reduced risk of stroke and showed a trend toward lower CVD risk among Iranian adults. These associations may vary by age and sex.
