Four healthy habits together track with 66% lower risk of early death
Pooled data on 531,804 people followed for an average of 13.24 years shows mortality risk dropping in step with each additional healthy habit. Holding at least four of the five was linked with a 66% lower risk of death from any cause.
For you: Worth knowing that the habits appear to compound: the biggest association came from stacking at least four of them, not from perfecting any single one.
What it shows: About as convincing as this kind of evidence gets: results pooled from studies that followed 531,804 people for over a decade. The catch is that researchers followed people rather than assigning habits, so people who live healthily may differ in other ways that the studies could not fully capture.Meta-analysis · Prev Med
