Question

Write in short presentation slide: METHODOLOGIES/ACTIVITIES To assess cardiovascular health among individuals, we employed the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) framework, which incorporates eight critical health metrics: physical activity, diet, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood glucose. Our strategy aimed at promoting health in individuals with HIV focused primarily on managing key cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure. Utilizing the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) protocol, we ensured a standardized approach for measuring blood pressure. This involved taking up to three readings with a sphygmomanometer in a controlled environment, following guidelines to avoid consumption of substances like caffeine or tobacco before the measurements. Participants were instructed to sit quietly for a few minutes to stabilize their heart rate and blood pressure. The process was conducted in a conference center after pre- test - and posttest quiz in an organized environment to ensure accuracy and reliability. The timing of the examinations was coordinated to suit the participants' schedules, maximizing compliance and participation. Adhering to NHANES guidelines, each participant's arm was positioned at heart level to standardize the measurement process. This structured methodology not only provided consistent data but also offered.
