Cardiometabolic diseases, total mortality, and benefits of adherence to a healthy lifestyle: a 13-year prospective UK Biobank study

BACKGROUND: Cardiometabolic disease (CMD) increases the risk of mortality, but the extent to which this can be offset by adherence to a healthy lifestyle is unknown.

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Cardiometabolic disease (CMD) increases the risk of mortality, but the extent to which this can be offset by adherence to a healthy lifestyle is unknown. We aimed to investigate whether and to what extent a combination of healthy lifestyle is associated with lower risk of total mortality that related to CMD. METHODS: Data for this prospective analysis was sourced from the UK Biobank with 356,967 participants aged 37 to 73 years between 2006 and 2010. Adherence to a healthy lifestyle was determined on the basis of four factors: no smoking, healthy diet, body mass index < 30 kg/m(2), and regular physical activity. CMD was defined as any of incidence of diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke at baseline. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (CIs) of the associations of CMDs and lifestyle factors with total mortality. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 13 years, a total of 21,473 death events occurred. The multivariable-adjusted HRs of mortality were 1.49 (95% CI 1.53–1.56) for one, 2.17 (95% CI 2.01–2.34) for two, and 3.75 (95% CI 3.04–4.61) for three CMDs. In joint exposure analysis, compared with CMDs-free and a favorable lifestyle, the HRs of mortality were 2.57 (95% CI 2.38–2.78) for patients with CMDs plus an unfavorable lifestyle and 1.58 (95% CI 1.50–1.66) for those with CMDs plus a favorable lifestyle. A favorable lifestyle attenuates the CMDs-related risk of mortality by approximately 63%. The mortality risk of CMDs-free people but have unfavorable lifestyle was higher than those who have over one CMDs but have favorable lifestyle. CONCLUSION: The potential effect of an increasing number of CMDs on total mortality appears additive, adherence to a healthy lifestyle may attenuate the CMDs-related mortality risk by more than 60%. These findings highlight the potential importance of lifestyle interventions to reduce risk of mortality across entire populations, even in patients with CMDs.
