The American Heart Association has defined cardiovascular health (CVH) through 7 metrics, including 3 health behaviors (tobacco use, diet, and physical activity) and 4 health factors (body weight, blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood glucose). Although the American Heart Association has championed the measurement, monitoring, and messaging of CVH through its goal to improve the CVH of all Americans by 20% by 2020, the current state of CVH in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has not been well documented. In this review, the author discuss (1) definition of CVH, (2) methods of measuring and monitoring CVH in LMICs, (3) recent trends in CVH metrics in LMICs, and (4) strategies to improve CVH in LMICs.
美国心脏协会通过7项指标定义了心血管健康（CVH），包括3种健康行为（烟草使用、饮食和身体活动）和4种健康因素（体重、血压、血液胆固醇和血糖）。尽管美国心脏协会通过到2020年将所有美国人的心血管健康改善20%这一目标，倡导对心血管健康进行测量、监测和宣传，但低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）心血管健康的现状尚未得到充分记录。在本综述中，作者讨论了（1）心血管健康的定义，（2）低收入和中等收入国家测量和监测心血管健康的方法，（3）低收入和中等收入国家心血管健康指标的近期趋势，以及（4）改善低收入和中等收入国家心血管健康的策略。
