Lifestyle Patterns and Incidence of Cardiovascular Diseases, Cancer, Respiratory Diseases, and Type 2 Diabetes: A Large-Scale Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Lifestyle factors often interact in complex ways when influencing chronic disease risk. We aimed to examine the prospective associations between empirically derived real-life lifestyle patterns (LPs) and the incidence of major chronic diseases, and to explore the linearity of the relationships between lifestyle summation scores and disease risk. Methods: We included adults free of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), or type 2 diabetes (T2D) at baseline (2006-2013) from the Dutch Lifelines cohort. LPs and lifestyle summation scores were derived from baseline self-reported data on diet, physical activity, substance use, sleep, stress, and social connectedness, each categorised as healthy, moderately healthy, or unhealthy.
