Association between healthy lifestyle and cognitive decline, all-cause mortality, and mortality from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: a 10-year population-based prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The association between cognitive function, healthy lifestyle, and mortality remains understudied in large Chinese cohorts.

Methods

In this nationwide 10-year prospective study of 24,657 older adults, we assessed Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) categories (<18, 18 to 23, 24 to 27, 28 to 30) and a seven-component lifestyle score (0 to 7) for their relationships with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular mortality.

Results

Compared with individuals scoring 28 to 30 on the MMSE, lower scores were linked to elevated all-cause and cerebrovascular mortality but not cardiovascular mortality. Participants with lifestyle scores of 4 or 5 had a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Even optimal lifestyle practices did not fully mitigate the heightened m
