Objective

To investigate the association between Cardiovascular Health (CVH) and cognitive function trajectories.

Methods

Data were obtained from five waves (2011-2020) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), including participants aged ≥45 years. CVH was assessed using six indicators: tobacco exposure, sleep, body mass index (BMI), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), blood glucose, and blood pressure. Group-based trajectory modeling was applied to identify trajectories of cognitive function, and multinomial logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between CVH and cognitive function trajectories.

Results

A total of 5 774 participants was included. Four cognitive trajectories were identified: low-declining, medium-declining, medium-stable and high-stable. Compared with the high-stable group, each one-point increase in CVH score was associated with a reduced risk of entering the low-decline, medium-decline, and medium-stable groups by approximately 1.4%, 0.8%, and 0.5%, respectively (all P<0.01). Tobacco exposure, sleep, and blood pressure were consistently associated with cognitive trajectories (P<0.05), while BMI and non-HDL-C showed significance in selected comparisons.

Conclusion

CVH in middle-aged and older adults is positively associated with cognitive function trajectories. Tobacco exposure, sleep, BMI, non-HDL-C, and blood pressure emerge as key influencing factors. Enhancing CVH, especially through midlife strategies focusing on modifiable lifestyle behaviors and metabolic indicators within an integrated “heart-brain prevention” framework, may represent a promising avenue to mitigate or delay cognitive decline.
