Kailuan Study: Association of Life's Essential 8 Scores with Pulmonary Function Impairment

Between 2015 and 2023, 17,191 adults from the Kailuan study underwent pulmonary function testing. The dataset contains cross-sectional analysis results linking Life's Essential 8 cardiovascular health scores to pulmonary function impairment, authored by Yanhui Deng and published on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing the dose-response relationship between composite cardiovascular health scores and pulmonary function based on logistic regression results.
• Identifying key contributors to pulmonary impairment using weighted quantile sum regression on health behaviors and factors.
• Estimating population attributable risk percent for pulmonary function impairment associated with low cardiovascular health scores.
• Conducting subgroup analyses to test the robustness of associations across different demographic strata.

Strengths

• Dataset includes results from a large cohort of 17,191 adults.
• Analysis provides specific odds ratios (e.g., 0.73 for high LE8 score) and 95% confidence intervals.
• Study reports a clear temporal coverage from 2015 to 2023.

Limitations

• The sample is heavily skewed, with 97.8% men (385 women), limiting generalizability to women.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Data is stored in a DOCX file (65.8 KB), which is a small, non-standard format for structured analysis.
