Life's Essential 8 and Psoriasis Association in US Adults, NHANES 2003-2014

9,876 US adults aged 20 to 59 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles 2003–2006 and 2009–2014. The dataset, authored by Junjie Zhang, contains results from a cross-sectional study investigating the relationship between cardiovascular health scores (Life's Essential 8) and psoriasis.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the association between cardiovascular health scores and psoriasis risk based on logistic regression results.
• Investigating demographic interactions (gender, age, education) with psoriasis risk based on interaction terms mentioned.
• Modeling the dose-response relationship between LE8 score increments and psoriasis risk reduction based on reported 10% risk reduction per 10-point increase.

Strengths

• Data is derived from the authoritative National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
• Study includes 9,876 participants, providing a substantial sample size.
• Analysis uses multiple statistical methods, including logistic regression and restricted cubic splines.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is cross-sectional, limiting causal inference.
