This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of cumulative burden of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) on risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs). Methods and results A total of 34 959 participants were enrolled who participated in the four surveys during 2006–2013. Cumulative CVRF burden was calculated as number of years (2006–2013) multiplied by the values of CVRFs including systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). The primary outcome was defined as the CVE during 2012–2017, including ischaemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality. During 4.62 (±0.71) years follow-up on average, there were 2118 (6.06%) CVE, including 847 (2.42%) ischaemic stroke, 221 (0.63%) myocardial infarction, and 1185 (3.39%) all-cause mortality. Higher cumulative burden of individual CVRF was significantly associated with increased risk of outcomes, except for LDL-C for all-cause mortality, FBG for myocardial infarction, and hs-CRP for ischaemic stroke. In Cox proportional hazards model, compared with the group, of the lower quartile of integrated cumulative burden, the hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals) of the upper quartile was 2.45 (2.03–2.94) for CVE, 3.65 (2.68–4.96) for ischaemic stroke, 4.51 (2.19–9.27) for myocardial infarction, and 1.73 (1.36–2.21) for all-cause mortality. Conclusion We demonstrated the correlation between cumulative burden of CVRFs and cardiovascular risk, except for cumulative burden of hs-CRP and ischaemic stroke. Thus, our study suggests the necessity to extend the observation duration of CVRFs in order to elucidate the life-course cumulative effect.
