Four Factors of Early Death
April 28th 2010 -
Cigarettes, alcohol, poor diet and little exercise – who maintains such a lifestyle, lives shorter. People, in which all four trucks are part of everyday life to lose, twelve years of life compared with those that perform exemplary in these areas. These factors are known individually as unhealthy, as they are problematic in combination, could now prove a long-term study impressive. Researchers at the University of Oslo, Norway evaluated from British adult health data.
Mid-80’s had completed questionnaires on their 4886 British way of life. In detail, they were asked if they smoke, less than three times a day eat fruit and vegetables, exercise less than two hours a week sport and whether they consume more alcohol (equivalent to seven glasses of wine per week for women, ten glasses for men). For every bad property awarded scientists a point. After 20 years they checked which of the participants had died and of what.
The result: about one in five people had died in the meantime – 431 from cardiovascular diseases, 318 with cancer and 331 from other causes. Each dot in the risk factors increased the statistical probability to bless the early Temporal: Those participants who did four points had to die, compared with a zero point three times as high risk of cardiovascular disease or cancer. The risk was for all other causes of death over four times. Overall, the mortality rate of people in line with all four bad qualities to the level when they were twelve years older.
The author team led by Elisabeth Kvaavik sees the result of hope. “Small, achievable lifestyle changes are likely to have a significant impact both for individuals and for the whole population,” write the researchers. Sports, healthy diet and stop alcohol and cigarettes should promote the health necessarily.
