For the study, researchers assessed the participants' heart health by looking at their CKM syndrome stage and their Life's Essential 8 cardiovascular health score. They also used ultrasound scans to check for early damage in the carotid arteries, which are major blood vessels in the neck that carry blood to the brain.
