Health impacts of lifestyle and ambient air pollution patterns on all-cause mortality: a UK Biobank cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extensive evidence indicates that both lifestyle factors and air pollution are strongly associated with all-cause mortality. However, little studies in this field have integrated these two factors in order to examine their relationship with mortality and explore potential interactions.

Methods

A cohort of 271,075 participants from the UK Biobank underwent analysis. Lifestyles in terms of five modifiable factors, namely smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet, and sleep quality, were classified as unhealthy (0-1 score), general (2-3 score), and healthy (4-5 score). Air pollution, including particle matter with a diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM_2.5), particulate matter with a diameter ≤ 10 μm (PM₁₀), particulate matter with a diameter 2.5-10
