Aim To explore the impact of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and health factors on the detection rate of the right subclavian artery plaques. Methods Subject with previous stroke, transient ischemic attack （TIA）, myocardial infarction were excluded from the study. A total of 5852 employees （the retired employers from Tangshan Kailuan company） aged 40 years and over were included through stratified random sampling. Inforrmation was obtained from the unified questionnaire, measurements of blood biochemistry and right subclavian artery ultrasonography. Results （1）The right subclavian artery plaques detection rate were 41.8%, 35.8%, 33.4%, 31.4%, 29.7% and 25.2% in the group of with less than 2, 2, 3, 4, 5 and greater than 5 components of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and health factors,respectively. （2）Compared to less than 2 components of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and health factors, the detection risk （OR） values in the group with 2, 3, 4, 5 and greater than 5 components of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and health factors were 0.78, 0.70, 0.64, 0.59, 0.47, respectively. Conclusions Increasing ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and factors are negatively linked with the detection rate of the right subclavian artery plaques. The ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and health factors can prevent the right subclavian artery plaques.
