The researchers gave each person a score for their lifestyle, based on their body mass index (
) and self-reported diet, sleep duration, physical activity, sedentary time, social connection, smoking, and alcohol drinking – all factors thought to be associated with health.
Overall, there were 9,915 deaths recorded after the first 2 years’ follow-up. Models showed a variety of associations between people’s lifestyle and mortality. Sleep duration had a U-shaped relationship, whilst moderate physical activity was L-shaped, and BMI and vigorous activity were J-shaped – a trend that starts with a sharp drop and is followed by a dramatic rise.

For sleep, the ideal seems to be 7 hours a night, whilst the turning point for moderate physical activity was 550 minutes per week, and 240 minutes per week for vigorous physical activity. The J-shaped turning point for BMI was 28 kg/m2.

In multivariable models, each lifestyle factor was significantly associated with all-cause mortality, as well as mortality associated with cancer, cardiovascular, digestive, and respiratory diseases.
The overarching principles define the importance of a healthy lifestyle, how lifestyle modifications should be implemented, and their role in relation to medical treatments.1 It seems now this could possibly benefit mortality as well as disease outcomes.
