Metrics included diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, and an overall cardiovascular health score. We dichotomized social media use as frequent social media use versus infrequent social media use\/nonuse. Linear regression estimated the association between social media use and cardiovascular health metrics by sex, adjusting for grade and race and ethnicity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Frequent social media use was associated with significantly lower mean scores for overall cardiovascular health (female: \u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22125.3; 95% CI, \u22127.5 to \u22123.1; male: \u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22123.6; 95% CI, \u22125.3 to \u22121.9), diet (female: \u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22129.3; 95% CI, \u221212.1 to \u22126.5; male: \u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22126.4; 95% CI, \u22129.2 to \u22123.5), and nicotine exposure (female: \u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u221211.9; 95% CI, \u221217.1 to \u22126.8; male: \u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u221210.7; 95% CI, \u221214.8 to \u22126.6) compared with infrequent\/nonuse.
