Minimum and optimal combined variations in sleep, physical activity, and nutrition in relation to all-cause mortality risk.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep, physical activity, and nutrition (SPAN) are critical behaviours for health, although they have traditionally been studied separately. We examined the combined associations of SPAN and the minimum between-individual variations associated with meaningfully lower all-cause mortality risk.

Methods

This prospective cohort analysis included 59,078 participants from the UK Biobank (median age: 64.0 years; 45.4% male) who wore trackers for 7 days and self-reported dietary data. Wearable-measured sleep (hours/day) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA; mins/day) were calculated using a machine learning based schema. A 10-item diet quality score (DQS) assessed the intake of vegetables, fruits, fish, dairy, whole grains, vegetable oils, refined grains, proc
