Background: Unhealthy lifestyles are a global concern. This study measured the prevalence and factors associated with an unhealthy lifestyle in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Methods: An interview-based, cross-sectional study was conducted with 968 males and 2029 females, aged 30–75 years, covering 18 primary health care centers in Riyadh. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the significant determinants associated with an unhealthy lifestyle. Results: Overall, men were 1.49 (1.28, 1.74) times at higher risk of an unhealthy lifestyle compared to women. Men reporting unhealthy lifestyle were 2.1 (1.3, 3.4) and 1.5 (1.0, 2.6) times more likely than men with healthy lifestyle to cite not enjoying physical activity, lack of social support, and not having enough information about a healthy diet [1.5 (1.0, 2.0)], whereas those ≥ 45 years age group were 30 times less likely to report unhealthy lifestyle [0.7 (0.5, 0.9)]. In contrast, in women aged ≥ 45 years [1.3 (1.1, 1.7)], lack of motivation [1.3 (1.1, 1.7)], feeling conscious while exercising [2.0 (1.4, 2.9)], not enjoying healthy food [1.6 (1.3, 2.1)], and no family support to prepare healthy food [1.4 (1.1, 1.8)] were significantly associated with an unhealthy lifestyle. Conclusions: In a Saudi sample, younger men and older women are at higher risk of an unhealthy lifestyle. In addition to self-motivation, combined strategies to promote physical activity and healthy eating are required to improve lifestyle.

AbstractThe high prevalence and burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is largely attributable to unhealthy lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and unhealthy food habits. Prevention of CVD, through the promotion of healthy lifestyles, appears to be a Sisyphean task for healthcare professionals, as the root causes of an unhealthy lifestyle lie largely outside their scope. Since most lifestyle choices are habitual and a response to environmental cues, rather than rational and deliberate choices, nationwide policies targeting the context in which lifestyle behaviours occur may be highly effective in the prevention of CVD. In this point-of-view article, we emphasise the need for government policies beyond those mentioned in the National Prevention Agreement in the Netherlands to effectively reduce the CVD risk, and we address the commonly raised concerns regarding ‘paternalism’.

AbstractHigh prevalence of noncommunicable diseases with their associated costs are related more and more to unhealthy behaviours such as unappropriated diets, lack of physical activity and smoking. Lifestyle medicine is now more and more scientific and with evidence-based fundament. The key in lifestyle change is negotiation and cooperation. Physicians should do more than education, should empower and motivate the patient in planning a healthy lifestyle leading to sustained change.

BackgroundTo examine the combined influence of changes in physical activity, diet, smoking and alcohol consumption on all-cause mortality.MethodsHealth behaviours were assessed in 1984/1985 and 1991/1992 in 8123 adults from the UK (4666 women, median age 41.0 years). An unhealthy lifestyle score was calculated, allocating one point for smoking, fruits and vegetables <3 times a day, physical activity <2 hours a week and >14 units (women) or >21 units of alcohol (men) per week.ResultsThere were 2003 deaths over a median follow-up of 6.6 years (IQR 5.9–7.2) following the resurvey. The modal change in the unhealthy lifestyle score was zero, 41.8% had the same score, 35.5% decreased and 22.7% increased score between surveys. A one unit decrease in the unhealthy lifestyle score was not associated with a beneficial effect on mortality (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.83 to 1.04). A one unit increase in the unhealthy lifestyle score increased the risk of mortality (adjusted HR 1.09; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.18).ConclusionsIn this general population sample, the adoption of an unhealthy lifestyle was associated with an increased risk of mortality.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Some studies reported that health behaviors and lifestyles are related to sleep disorder; obesity, drinking, smoking and lack of physical exercise are risk factors for insomnia. However, it’s unclear the association between accumulated unhealthy behaviors and insomnia in consideration of lifestyle-related diseases. Therefore, this study was to examine the effect of accumulated unhealthy behaviors on insomnia in a Japanese community population. Methods The subjects included 1,1002 participants aged 35–74 years. Sleep quality was assessed by the Athens Insomnia Scale. Unhealthy behaviors were classified into smoking, drinking, no habit of exercising, obesity, and skipping breakfast. We examined the impact of unhealthy behaviors accumulation, which was stratified into three categories, i.e., 0-1,2-3,4 or more, on insomnia. The association between accumulated unhealthy behaviors and insomnia was estimated by logistic regression analysis. Further analysis after stratification by lifestyle-related diseases was also performed. Results The overall prevalence of insomnia was 14.6% for men and19.3% for women. Men with unhealthy behaviors were more likely to have insomnia after adjusting for potential confounders, compared with the least unhealthy groups (trend p=0.017). Women with 4 or more unhealthy behavior factors were more likely to have the suspected insomnia, compared with the lowest groups (ORs 1.176 95% CI 1.079–1.282). Then, we analyzed to stratify by lifestyle-related disease. Insomnia has an association with unhealthy behaviors among men with the absence of diabetes (trend p=0.015) and dyslipidemia (trend p=0.032). Women without hypertension were more likely to have the suspected insomnia, compared with the lowest groups (ORs 1.215 95% CI 1.102–1.340), but the odd for those with the hypertension was 1.031(95%CI 0.855–1.243). Conclusion Accumulated unhealthy behaviors were associated with increased rates of insomnia in the Japanese community population. According to stratification by lifestyle-related disease, men showed the associations by the presence or absence of diabetes. Women showed the associations by the absence of hypertension. These associations were nearly similar regardless of the presence or absence of lifestyle-related disease. Support (if any) This research was supported by research funds from the Yamagata Prefectural Government and the city of Tsuruoka and the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (JP24390168, JP15H04778 and JP19K19441) from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

Full textAbstract:
While diet and lifestyle are independently implicated in the etiology of liver disease, the interaction of diet and lifestyle may be more helpful for determining the risk of liver abnormality. Thus, our study aimed to evaluate the interaction between the dietary pattern associated with liver biomarkers and lifestyle factors among Taiwanese adults with abnormal liver enzymes. A liver-associated dietary pattern, generated using reduced rank regression, was characterized by high intake of soy sauce or other dips, sugar sweetened beverages, and preserved and processed foods, but low intake of seafood, fruits, eggs, and dark-colored vegetables. In the fully adjusted model, liver-associated dietary patterns or unhealthy concordance lifestyle factors were associated with an increased risk of having liver function abnormality (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.12 and OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.31, 1.53, respectively). Moreover, the interaction between liver-associated dietary pattern and unhealthy concordance lifestyle factors showed more significant correlation, with an elevated risk of abnormal liver function (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 2.02, 2.26). Therefore, our study suggests that participants who have a strong liver-associated dietary pattern along with unhealthy concordance lifestyles are likely to have increased odds of abnormal liver function.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWhen it comes to determining how healthcare resources should be allocated, there are many factors that could—and perhaps should—be taken into account. One such factor is a patient’s responsibility for his or her illness, or for the behavior that caused it. Policies that take responsibility for the unhealthy lifestyle or its outcomes into account—responsibility-sensitive policies—have faced a series of criticisms. One holds that agents often fail to meet either the control or epistemic conditions on responsibility with regard to their unhealthy lifestyles or their outcomes. Another holds that even if patients sometimes are responsible for these items, we cannot know whether a particular patient is responsible for them. In this article, we propose a type of responsibility-sensitive policy that may be able to surmount these difficulties. Under this type of policy, patients are empowered to change to a healthier lifestyle by being given what we call a ‘Golden Opportunity’ to change. Such a policy would not only avoid concerns about patients’ fulfilment of conditions on responsibility for their lifestyles, it would also allow healthcare authorities to be justified in believing that a patient who does not change her lifestyle is responsible for the unhealthy lifestyle. We conclude with a discussion of avenues for further work, and place this policy in the broader context of the debate on responsibility for health.

Background. Schizophrenia has a high natural mortality of a largely environmental aetiology. There is, however, little research about possible risk factors. This study measured the diet, cigarette and alcohol use, exercise and obesity of a cohort of people with schizophrenia and compared results to general population rates.Methods. Semi-structured interview using validated research instruments on 102 middle-aged subjects with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, living in the community. Results were compared to general population norms using standard statistical tests.Results. The subjects ate a diet higher in fat and lower in fibre than the general population. They took little exercise but were not significantly more obese. They smoked heavily but drank less alcohol. Most differences remained significant after controlling for social class.Conclusions. People with schizophrenia have an unhealthy lifestyle, which probably contributes to the excess mortality of the disease. They are therefore an appropriate target group for health promotion interventions.

Background: Lockdown measures were implemented in many countries to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, such restrictions could precipitate unintended negative consequences on lifestyle behaviors. The main objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and determinants of unhealthy behavior changes during the COVID-19 lockdown among residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey of adults residing in the UAE was carried out during lockdown (n = 2060). Using a multi-component questionnaire, the collected data included questions regarding the following lifestyle changes: Increased dietary intake, increased weight, decreased physical activity, decreased sleep, and increased smoking. An unhealthy lifestyle change score was calculated based on the number of unhealthy lifestyle changes each participant reported. In addition, sociodemographic and living conditions information was collected. Descriptive statistics as well as simple and multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the prevalence and determinants of the unhealthy lifestyle changes considered in this study. Results: Among the unhealthy lifestyle changes examined, increased food intake was the most common (31.8%), followed by decreased physical activity (30%), increased weight (29.4%), decreased sleep (20.8%), and increased smoking (21%). In addition to identifying the correlates of each of the aforementioned lifestyle changes, the results of the multiple regression linear analyses revealed the following correlates for the overall unhealthy lifestyle change score: females (β = 0.32, CI: 0.22; 0.42), living in an apartment (β = 0.12, CI: 0.003; 0.23) and being overweight/obese (β = 0.24, CI: 0.15; 0.32) had higher scores, while older adults (>40 years) had lower scores (β = −0.23, CI: −0.34; −0.12). Conclusions: The COVID-19 lockdown has resulted in a high prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and practices among UAE residents. The findings of this study provided the evidence base for officials to design interventions targeting high-risk groups and aiming to improve healthy lifestyle factors among residents during the pandemic.

Unhealthy lifestyle, as sedentary, unbalanced diet, smoking, and body composition change are often observed in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) survivors, and could be determinant for the onset of cancer treatment-induced metabolic syndrome (CTIMetS), including abdominal obesity, sarcopenia, and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to assess whether changes in body composition, unhealthy lifestyles and types of anti-cancer treatment could increase the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) and sarcopenia in long-term NHL survivors. We enrolled 60 consecutive NHL patients in continuous remission for at least 3 years. Nutritional status was assessed by anthropometry-plicometry, and a questionnaire concerning lifestyles and eating habits was administered. More than 60% of survivors exhibited weight gain and a change in body composition, with an increased risk of MetSyn. Univariate analysis showed a significantly higher risk of metabolic disorder in patients treated with steroids, and in patients with unhealthy lifestyles. These data suggest that a nutritional intervention, associated with adequate physical activity and a healthier lifestyle, should be indicated early during the follow-up of lymphoma patients, in order to decrease the risk of MetSyn’s onset and correlated diseases in the long term.

Unhealthy lifestyles such as lack of physical activity, eating unhealthy foods, and stress in teenagers are now increasing. The presence of unhealthy behavior in teenagers can be bad for their health, one of which is the increasing of risk of non-communicable diseases. Therefore applying healthy lifestyle behaviors in teenagers is very important to prevent the occurrence of non-communicable diseases in the future.The purpose of this study was to describe healthy lifestyle behaviors in teenagres which included responsibility for health, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, and stress management. This study uses descriptive method with cross sectional approach. The study population was 1.445 adolescents. The sampling technique used proportional random sampling. Total samples were 314 teenagers. Data collection used the Healthy Promotion Lifestyle Profile -II questionnaire. Data analysis used Frequency Distribution. The results showed that the majority of teenagers had fairly good healthy lifestyle behaviors of 226 people (72%), quite good on aspect of health responsibility of 214 people (62.8%), good in healthy lifestyle behavior in aspect of physical activity of 160 people (51%), quite good in the nutritional aspect of 159 people (50.6%), goodin the aspect of spiritual growth of 205 people (65.3%), good in aspect of interpersonal relations of 222 people (70.7%) , and good in the stress management aspect of 211 people (67.2%).

Purpose. The present study aim to identify whether an unhealthy lifestyle, defined as active smoking and hyper sodium diet, leads to a higher likelihood of readmission of patients with heart failure (HF) during the vulnerable period or to an increased risk of in-hospital mortality and one year mortality. The vulnerable period for patients with heart failure refers to the first 90 days after discharge. Material and methods. This was a retrospective study conducted in the Cardiology Clinic of the Emergency Clinical Hospital “Bagdasar Arseni” in Bucharest, between October 2018 and October 2019 and enrolled 500 patients with heart failure. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 198 patients remained eligible for inclusion in this study. Demographic data as well as those related to the presence of complications during hospitalization and in-hospital mortality were collected from the observation sheet and from the database of the “Bagdasar Arseni” hospital. Data on readmission in the first 90 days after the reference discharge and one year mortality were assessed by telephone and using the Hipocrate software. All data obtained were entered into the Microsoft Excel database and were statistically processed using the Python program. Results. An unhealthy lifestyle increase the probability of readmission by 12% and the risk of in-hospital mortality by 17%. Younger patients tends to have an unhealthy lifestyle compared to the elderly (p-value = 0.000). Men have an unhealthy lifestyle (p- value = 0.000). Professionally active people tend to have an unhealthy lifestyle (p-value = 0.02). No statistically significant differences were observed in terms of the unhealthy lifestyle of people from urban or rural areas. Conclusions. The present study highlights the fact that an unhealthy lifestyle increase the mortality rate and readmissions in patients with heart failure. From the analyzed data, our study is the first study that measured the cumulative impact of modifiable risk factors related to lifestyle on readmission in the vulnerable period. We believe that these results could be the basis of a future study that would include a larger number of a patients and more modifiable factors.

Background: Lifestyle diseases are now the major causes of premature morbidity, mortality, and economic loss in developed and developing countries, including the younger age groups.The four major preventable behavioral risk factors are tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol. Life of adolescents is a transitional period, offering them good opportunities for establishing health-promoting lifestyles. This study is done to assess the prevalence of behavioral risk factors for lifestyle diseases of college going adolescents of Chennai. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 483 randomly selected undergraduate students from randomly selected colleges in Chennai between March and September 2016 by two stage stratified sampling method using a semi-structured questionnaire. Data was fed into excel sheet and Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was done using SPSS v.21 package. Results: The participants were between 17 and 20 years. They belonged to professional and non professional colleges. 78% students had unhealthy lifestyle habits. All the participants had at least one risk factor in them. The awareness on the risk factors was significantly less among non professional students, but they had significantly better behavioural habits than the professional students. Boys had significantly better habits than girls and students who were overweight significantly had unhealthy lifestyle habits. Conclusions: The study reflects the poor lifestyle habits of all college-aged individuals, which can be effectively improved by health education and behaviour change communication.

Abstract The health behavior model proposes that healthy/unhealthy behaviors may play a role in the relationship between personality and health. Previous research shows that personality traits are linked to sleep, however, few studies have considered the moderating role of unhealthy behaviors in the personality—sleep relationship. The current study investigated the associations between specific personality traits and sleep and whether the associations were moderated by unhealthy behaviors. Participants were 61 oncology nurses (Mage=35.39, SDage=11.73). They responded to a background survey that assessed the big five personality traits and engagement in unhealthy behaviors (i.e., exercise, smoking, fast food and alcohol consumption). For two weeks, ecological momentary assessments captured daily variability in sleep (i.e., quality, sufficiency, onset latency, insomnia, duration). A series of multilevel models was used. After controlling for sociodemographics and work shift, higher conscientiousness was associated with greater sleep sufficiency (B=0.31, p<.05) and lower odds of having insomnia symptoms (OR=0.24, p<.05). Moreover, higher agreeableness was associated with longer sleep duration (B= 0.51, p<.05) and lower odds of insomnia symptoms (OR=0.29, p<.05). Other personality domains were not associated with sleep, however, extraversion interacted with unhealthy behaviors to be associated with sleep. Those who were more extraverted reported lower odds of insomnia and better sleep sufficiency; these associations were significant only for those with less unhealthy behaviors. Findings suggest that conscientiousness and agreeableness were associated with sleep health. The interaction between extraversion and unhealthy behaviors suggests that reducing unhealthy behaviors may be beneficial to improving sleep in individuals with certain personality traits.

“The slow lifestyle” objects to excessive consumption and waste, but advocates the design of simplicity, economy and humanity. A too speedy lifestyle will surely exert influence on people’s health and not conform to the life essence, which has something in common with the viewpoint of moderate “putting-down” posed by Buddhism. It’s a wise choice to “put down” those unhealthy lifestyles and designs having nothing to do with boosting life quality.

The boom generation is aging. Research has found that aging boomers are more vulnerable to mental and physical health problems and that adoption of healthy lifestyles may be a game changer for preventive health marketing to deliver health and quality of life. While Rahtz and Szykman’s (2008) model focuses on educating aging boomers with preventive health knowledge to facilitate lifestyle change, unhealthy lifestyles entrenched in the culture of the Woodstock generation may be more resistant to change. Drawing on the metaphor of cultural capital, we theorize that Counterculture lifestyles in different fields are intricately intertwined symbolic elements organized by an anti-establishment habitus and, as such, should be naturally correlated and capable of predicting one another. Data analysis confirmed that withdrawal from institutional religion as a defiant lifestyle in the spiritual field four or five decades ago is associated with alcohol excess and cigarette smoking among aging boomers in 2016. Rahtz and Szykman’s (2008) model was modified to include withdrawal from institutional religion to better understand its impact on lifestyle change, health, and quality of life. Implications for marketing preventive health to aging boomers were also discussed.

AbstractEnergy balance-related behaviours (EBRB) are established in childhood and seem to persist through to adulthood. A lower parental educational level was associated with unhealthy behavioural patterns. The aim of the study is to identify clusters of EBRB and examine their association with preschool children’s BMI and maternal, paternal and parental education. A subsample of the ToyBox study (n 5387) conducted in six European countries was used. Six behavioural clusters (‘healthy diet and low activity’, ‘active’, ‘healthy lifestyle’, ‘high water and screen time; low fruits and vegetables (F&V) and physical activity (PA)’, ‘unhealthy lifestyle’ and ‘high F&V consumers’) emerged. The healthiest group characterised by high water and F&V consumption and high PA z scores (‘healthy lifestyle’) was more prevalent among preschool children with at least one medium- or higher-educated parent and showed markedly healthier trends for all the included EBRB. In the opposite, the ‘unhealthy lifestyle’ cluster (characterised by high soft drinks and screen time z scores, and low water, F&V and PA z scores) was more prevalent among children with lower parental, paternal and maternal education levels. OR identified that children with lower maternal, paternal and parental education levels were less likely to be allocated in the ‘healthy lifestyle’ cluster and more likely to be allocated in the ‘unhealthy lifestyle’ cluster. The ‘unhealthy lifestyle’ cluster was more prevalent among children with parents in lower parental educational levels and children who were obese. Therefore, parental educational level is one of the key factors that should be considered when developing childhood obesity prevention interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Unhealthy lifestyles, especially on nutritional factors have become a major problem causing many diseases in Malaysians in recent years. Identification of lifestyle profiles such as preventive for individuals who adopt healthy and curative for individuals who do not maintain their lifestyle is needed to increase their awareness regarding their lifestyle. Because self-assessment is known to be vulnerable to produce response biases that lead to misclassification, identification of profiles based on brain responses needs to be done. An Event-related potential (ERP) is the main tools of cognitive neurologists and make ideal techniques for studying perception and attention. This research captured brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG) during receiving images of healthy and unhealthy foods that act as health-related stimuli. These EEG signals converted mathematically into the ERP signals and entered into the classification interface as input. In terms of classification, the methodology used is a dynamic developing Spiking Neural Network (deSSN) based on the Neucube architecture. ERP analysis results shown the mean amplitude of the LPP component in the Parietal and Occipital lobes is higher for healthy food in the preventive group. Whereas in the curative group it has been shown to be higher for unhealthy foods. This result is thought to reflect their preference in choosing food in their daily lifestyle. However, the results of the classification have shown that unhealthy food stimulation in the LPP wave showed superior results compared to data analysis in other conditions. Classification with ERP data is believed to support the results of self-assessment and build methods of making profiles that are more accurate and reliable.

The objective of this study was to examine the interactions between comorbidity and five lifestyle single habits concerning different subscales of quality of life (QoL). For the study, 302 patients were consecutively recruited at the internal medicine department of a tertiary teaching hospital. Lifestyle habits, comorbidities and QoL were recorded according to validated questionnaires. Five single unhealthy habits, such as tobacco consumption, dietary intake of ultra-processed pastries, raw nuts or carbonated drinks, sleep time and physical activity patterns were selected according to previously published data. The main outcomes of the study were the scores of the eight subscales of the SF-36 QoL survey. The aggregate of unhealthy habits showed statistically significant association to every category in the SF-36 questionnaire, both in the univariate and the multivariate analysis when adjusting by age, sex and comorbidity. An interaction was found between comorbidity and unhealthy habits in both physical and mental summaries of SF-36. In conclusion, the lifestyle assessment according to five unhealthy habits is associated with a worse QoL. The interaction between comorbidity and unhealthy habits is especially clear in diseased patients due to the interplay between illness and lifestyle in the prediction of QoL.

IntroductionCombinations of unhealthy lifestyle factors are strongly associated with mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. It is unclear how socioeconomic status (SES) affects those associations. Lower SES groups may be disproportionately vulnerable to the effects of unhealthy lifestyle factors compared with higher SES groups via interactions with other factors associated with low SES (eg, stress) or via accelerated biological ageing. This systematic review aims to synthesise studies that examine how SES moderates the association between lifestyle factor combinations and adverse health outcomes. Greater understanding of how lifestyle risk varies across socioeconomic spectra could reduce adverse health by (1) identifying novel high-risk groups or targets for future interventions and (2) informing research, policy and interventions that aim to support healthy lifestyles in socioeconomically deprived communities.Methods and analysisThree databases will be searched (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL) from inception to March 2020. Reference lists, citations and grey literature will also be searched. Inclusion criteria are: (1) prospective cohort studies; (2) investigations of two key exposures: (a) lifestyle factor combinations of at least three lifestyle factors (eg, smoking, physical activity and diet) and (b) SES (eg, income, education or poverty index); (3) an assessment of the impact of SES on the association between combinations of unhealthy lifestyle factors and health outcomes; (4) at least one outcome from—mortality (all cause, CVD and cancer), CVD or cancer incidence. Two independent reviewers will screen titles, abstracts and full texts of included studies. Data extraction will focus on cohort characteristics, exposures, direction and magnitude of SES effects, methods and quality (via Newcastle-Ottawa Scale). If appropriate, a meta-analysis, pooling the effects of SES, will be performed. Alternatively, a synthesis without meta-analysis will be conducted.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required. Results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publication, professional networks, social media and conference presentations.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020172588.

The lifestyle with excessively quick steps can exert influence on health, and the excessive consumption and the essence of life run in the opposite direction. The lifestyle with slow rhythm objects against the excessive consumption and wasting, and advocates the simplified and humanized design, which has something in common with the appropriate laying down put forward in Chinese Buddhism. Its the highest wisdom to lay down the design with little improvement to the life quality and those unhealthy lifestyles.

Abstract Background To identify the patterns of lifestyle behaviours in children aged 3 years, to investigate the parental and child characteristics associated with the lifestyle patterns, and to examine whether the identified lifestyle patterns are associated with child BMI and weight status. Methods Cross-sectional data of 2090 children 3 years old participating in the Dutch BeeBOFT study were used. Child dietary intakes, screen times and physical activity were assessed by parental questionnaire, and child weight and height were measured by trained professionals according to a standardized protocol. Latent class analysis was applied to identify patterns of lifestyle behaviours among children. Results Three subgroups of children with distinct patterns of lifestyle behaviours were identified: the ‘unhealthy lifestyle’ pattern (36%), the ‘low snacking and low screen time’ pattern (48%) and the ‘active, high fruit and vegetable, high snacking and high screen time’ pattern (16%). Children with low maternal educational level, those raised with permissive parenting style (compared those with authoritative parents), and boys were more likely be allocated to the ‘unhealthy lifestyle’ pattern and the ‘active, high fruit and vegetable, high snacking and high screen time’ pattern (P < 0.05). No association was found between the identified lifestyle patterns and child BMI z-score at age 3 years. Conclusions Three different lifestyle patterns were observed among children aged 3 years. Low maternal educational level, permissive parenting style and male gender of the child were associated with having unhealthy lifestyle patterns for the child.

AbstractLittle is known about the clustering patterns of lifestyle behaviours in adult populations. We explored clusters in multiple lifestyle behaviours including physical activity (PA), smoking, alcohol use and eating habits in a sample of adult population. A cross-sectional and multi-centre study was performed with six participating groups distributed throughout Spain. Participants (n 1327) were part of the Lifestyles and Endothelial Dysfunction (EVIDENT) study and were aged between 20 and 80 years. The lifestyle and cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors were analysed using a clustering method based on the HJ-biplot coordinates to understand the variables underlying these groupings. The following three clusters were identified. Cluster 1: unhealthy, 677 subjects (51 %), with a slight majority of men (58·7 %), who were more sedentary and smokers with higher consumption of whole-fat dairy products, bigger waist circumference as well as higher TAG levels, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and CVR. Cluster 2: healthy/PA, 265 subjects (20 %), including 24·0 % of males with high PA. Cluster 3: healthy/diet, including 29 % of the participants, with a higher consumption of olive oil, fish, fruits, nuts, vegetables and lower alcohol consumption. Using the unhealthy cluster as a reference, and after adjusting for age and sex, the multiple regression analysis showed that belonging to the healthy/PA cluster was associated with a lower waist circumference, body fat percentage, SBP and CVR. In summary, the three clusters were identified according to lifestyles. The ‘unhealthy’ cluster had the least favourable clinical parameters, the ‘healthy/PA’ cluster had good HDL-cholesterol levels and low SBP and the ‘healthy/diet’ cluster had lower LDL-cholesterol levels and clinical blood pressure.

Objective: Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as smoking, drinking, betel-quid chewing, insufficient exercise, and inadequate sleep are significantly correlated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). To further understand this relationship, this study examined the main effect of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and their interaction on MetS by gender in young adults. Method: A cross-sectional study involving 694 young adults from a national survey was performed in which demographic characteristics, unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, anthropometric measurements, and blood chemistry panels were collected during face-to-face interviews. Results: The prevalence of MetS among young adults was 17.4% and was greater in males than females (19.0% vs. 7.8%). The unhealthy lifestyle-behavior risk factors associated with MetS included smoking (odds ratio [ OR] = 4.53) and physical activity ( OR = 0.51) among males and betel-quid chewing ( OR = 8.90) and less sleep ( OR = 0.08) among females. Significant interaction effects were observed between the abovementioned behaviors and gender for the risk of developing MetS. Conclusion: These results can guide health-care providers in reducing MetS risk by encouraging young adult males to reduce or quit cigarette smoking and maintain optimum levels of physical activity and young adult females to quit chewing betel quid and obtain appropriate amounts of sleep.

The Law is now firmly established as a prominent instrument of Public Health. There are several distinctive methods of legal intervention targeted at counteracting overweight and promoting healthier lifestyles. In this paper we examine several measures that have been adopted and discuss whether Law should foster healthy diets. Our purpose is to examine the threats of falling into a paternalistic attitude when devising any regulatory intervention aimed at promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Abstract:Increasing incidence of lifestyle disorders among Indians are largely attributed by unhealthy lifestyle practices like poor dietary pattern, inadequate physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption and stress. Lifestyle modification programs are proved effective in behaviour modification and promotion of healthy lifestyle practices among adolescents. A school based interventional study was conducted among adolescents with the objective determine the effectiveness of the lifestyle management program in terms of gain in knowledge on lifestyle disorders and change in self-reported lifestyle practices. The study was conducted in two phases. Initially, a baseline data on the lifestyle practices and knowledge on lifestyle disorders was obtained from the adolescents, which was utilized to select the adolescents with poor and average knowledge and unhealthy practices for whom the intervention was implemented. Changes in lifestyle disorder related knowledge and lifestyle practices were tested using a structured knowledge questionnaire and lifestyle assessment scale. After two weeks of the intervention, a post-test was carried out and a significant improvement in knowledge (Z= 12.39, P = 0.001) and lifestyle practice (Z= 5.52, P = 0.001) were identified. The educational package for lifestyle modification was successful in improving the knowledge on lifestyle diseases and lifestyle practices among adolescents and thereby in prevention of lifestyle disorders.

Unhealthy body conditions cause various diseases, one of which is cardiovascular disease that attacks the heart organ. Coronary heart disease is a disease that attacks the coronary arteries, where the coronary arteries are narrowed due to an imbalance of oxygen and nutrients produced with the needs of the heart. This can have an unhealthy impact on the heart and can cause death. Yoga practice can be used as an effort to reduce coronary heart disease because yoga practice helps balance the oxygen demand and oxygen supply produced by the body, so that the imbalance can be overcome and the heart becomes healthier.

Aim To compare the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle factors and comorbid disorders in cluster headache patients with headache-free controls, in order to discuss pathophysiology and possible consequences. Methods Cluster headache patients from the Danish cluster headache survey aged 18–65 years, diagnosed according to ICHD-II, were compared to sex- and age-matched headache-free controls. Participants completed questionnaires and structured interviews. Results A total of 400 cluster headache patients and 200 controls participated. Patients had a more unhealthy lifestyle compared with controls in the form of current and current/former smoking (48.3% vs. 9.0%, p < 0.001 and 74.5% vs. 30.0%, p < 0.001, respectively), higher average alcohol intake per week (98.2 grams vs. 77.9 grams, p = 0.033) and BMI (26.1 vs. 24.2 kg/m2, p < 0.001), whereas coffee and energy drink consumption was equally distributed. Further, lifestyle-related, psychiatric and pain-related diseases were much more prevalent in patients compared with controls, except for diabetes. Sub-group analyses revealed that current/former smokers had a worse clinical presentation than never smokers. Conclusion Unhealthy lifestyle factors and lifestyle-related diseases were more prevalent in cluster headache patients compared to controls. As lifestyle-related diseases might have serious consequences in the management of cluster headache, it is key to inform patients at an early time point about the possible risks of their lifestyle choices.

ABSTRACT Background Whether genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes is modified by a healthy lifestyle among Chinese remains unknown. Objectives The aim of the study was to determine whether genetic risk and adherence to a healthy lifestyle contribute independently to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Methods We defined a lifestyle score using BMI, alcohol intake, smoking, physical activities, and diets in 461,030 participants from the China Kadoorie Biobank and 38,434 participants from the Singapore Chinese Health Study. A genetic risk score was constructed based on type 2 diabetes loci among 100,175 and 16,172 participants in each cohort, respectively. A Cox proportional-hazards model was used to estimate the interaction between genetic and lifestyle factors on the risk of type 2 diabetes. Results In 2 independent Asian cohorts, we consistently found a healthy lifestyle (the bottom quintile of lifestyle score) was associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes than an unhealthy lifestyle (the top quintile of lifestyle score) regardless of genetic risk. In those at a high genetic risk, the risk of type 2 diabetes was 57% lower among participants with a healthy lifestyle than among those with an unhealthy lifestyle in the pooled cohorts. Among participants at high genetic risk, the standardized 10-y incidence of type 2 diabetes was 7.11% in those with an unhealthy lifestyle vs. 2.45% in those with a healthy lifestyle. Conclusions In 2 independent cohorts involving 558,302 Chinese participants, we did not observe an interaction between genetics and lifestyle with type 2 diabetes risk, but our findings provide replicable evidence to show lifestyle factors and genetic factors were independently associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes. Within any genetic risk category, a healthy lifestyle was associated with a significantly lower risk of type 2 diabetes among the Chinese population.

Individual associations between lifestyle behaviours and mental health have been established; however, evidence on the clustering of these behaviours and the subsequent impact on mental health is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between combined unhealthy lifestyle behaviours (physical activity, sitting time, sleep duration, processed meat consumption, vegetable consumption, fruit consumption, smoking status, alcohol consumption) and the development of psychological distress (measured using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale) in a large Australian sample. Participants were 163,707 Australian adults from the 45 and Up Study. Data from baseline (2006–2009) and follow-up wave 1 (2012) were analysed using binary logistic regression. The odds of reporting high or very high psychological distress at follow-up were significantly higher for those reporting five (AOR = 2.36; 95% CI 1.41–3.97, p = 0.001) or six or more (AOR = 3.04; 95% CI 1.62–5.69, p = 0.001) unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, in comparison to those reporting no unhealthy lifestyle behaviours at baseline. These findings suggest that a holistic, multi-faceted lifestyle approach addressing multiple behaviours may be required to support and promote positive mental health and to reduce the likelihood of psychological distress.

Chinese children are facing health challenges brought by chronic non-communicable diseases, such as physical problems and psychological related health problems. Childhood represents a critical life period when the long-term dietary and lifestyle behaviors are formed. It is necessary to survey the prevalence of suboptimal health status (SHS) among Chinese children and to research the relationship between SHS and lifestyles. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of SHS among Chinese children using a large-scale population survey sample covering school students and nonstudent children, and clarified the relationships between SHS and lifestyle factors using multi-level models controlled for the cluster effect of location and the confounding effect of demographics. Multi-level generalized estimating equation models were used to examine the relationships between SHS and lifestyle factors. Prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the strength of these relationships. Of the 29,560 children, 14,393 reported one or more SHS symptoms, giving a SHS prevalence of 48.69%. The prevalence of SHS for boys (46.07%) was lower than that for girls (51.05%). After controlling for the cluster effect of living areas and confounding effect of demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors associated with SHS were: less sleep duration, current smokers (PR = 1.085, 95%CI: 1.027–1.147), current drinkers (PR = 1.072, 95%CI: 1.016–1.131), children’ parents suffering from chronic diseases (PR = 1.294, 95%CI: 1.179–1.421), poor sleep quality (PR = 1.470, 95%CI: 1.394–1.550), stress (PR = 1.545, 95%CI: 1.398–1.707), negative life events (PR = 1.237, 95%CI: 1.088–1.406), hypertension (PR = 1.046, 95%CI: 1.009–1.084), unhealthy diet choice (PR = 1.091, 95%CI: 1.051–1.133) and irregular meal time (PR = 1.210, 95%CI: 1.163–1.259). Children who could exercise regularly (PR = 0.897, 95%CI: 0.868–0.927) and those with regular medical checkup (PR = 0.891, 95%CI: 0.854–0.929) were associated with lower prevalence probability of SHS. SHS has become a serious public health challenge for Chinese children. Unhealthy lifestyles were closely associated with SHS. Implementation of preventative strategies are needed to reduce the potential SHS burden associated with these widespread high-risk unhealthy lifestyle behaviors.

The total and indirect effect of hostility on systolic and diastolic blood pressure was compared as a function of religious and spirituality identity in a nationally representative sample of 2971 adults aged 46.44 years. Structural equation modeling uncovered an indirect path from hostility to diastolic blood pressure via unhealthy behaviors and hostility to unhealthy behaviors via social isolation. Compared to a non-religious/non-spiritual reference group, the effect for unhealthy behaviors on diastolic blood pressure was greater for those endorsing some form of religious identity. However, the direction of the effect for hostility on social isolation and social isolation on unhealthy behaviors was reversed in those endorsing spiritual and religious identity.

Non-communicable and chronic diseases have overtaken infectious diseases as the major causes of death and disability around the world. Despite recognition that reduction in the chronic disease burden will require governance systems to address the social determinants of health, most public health recommendations emphasize individual behavior as the primary cause of illness and the target of intervention. This Article argues that focusing on lifestyle can backfire, by increasing health inequities and inviting human rights violations. If States fail to take meaningful steps to alter the social and economic structures that create health risks and encourage unhealthy behavior, health at the population level is unlikely to improve significantly. Viewing the global health challenge from the perspective of human rights, however, reveals opportunities for positive change in all sectors of governance. Explicit recognition of human rights can help refocus attention on the fundamental causes of health and protect individuals from unnecessary harm.

Full textAbstract:
Using a written questionnaire survey of 200 first-year university students, we investigated associations between parental rearing attitudes and health-related lifestyle. Participants completed the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI; Parker, Tupling, & Brown, 1979) and the Health Practice Index (HPI; Hagihara & Morimoto, 1991). We found that more female respondents with unhealthy lifestyles perceived their parents as having been overprotective. No such correlation was found for male respondents. These findings suggest that, particularly for females, health-related lifestyle may be related to perceived parental rearing attitudes. By contrast, for males, depression correlated with low maternal care or overprotection.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify lifestyle profiles of young adult males and females based on their alcohol, diet, and exercise behaviors and then link these profiles with health. Method: We used the nationally representative 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS; N = 17,286; 47% female; Mage = 23.22; SD = 3.16; 65% white) to examine profiles of alcohol use, daily fruit and vegetable intake, fried potato intake, and exercise per week using latent profile analysis. Participants also reported the days their general, physical, and mental health were poor and BMI. Results: Five distinct profiles for both males and females were identified: Healthy Eaters/Exercisers, Moderates, Unhealthy Eaters, Medium Drinkers, and Heavy Drinkers. Heavy Drinkers and Unhealthy Eaters reported the most days of poor mental and physical health. Conclusions: Heavy drinkers and unhealthy eaters had the highest number of days of poor health, which also places them at risk for a host of health adversities throughout adulthood. Examining motivations behind young adults' patterns of consumption and activity is an important future direction to identify mechanisms for healthy lifestyle promotion during the transition to adulthood.

Full textAbstract:
The government ordered various restrictions to limit the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), thus, affecting the mental health status and lifestyle of people with diabetes. This study identifies COVID-19 effects on mental health problems and unhealthy behavioral changes among patients with diabetes. The subjects of this cross-sectional study were adults aged 19 years or older who participated in the 2020 Korean Community Health Survey. Stress, depression, and changes in unhealthy behavior in diabetic patients (N = 26,839) because of COVID-19 were compared with controls (N = 26,834). The association between stress and depression and unhealthy behaviors among patients with diabetes was investigated. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 20.3% and 4.2% of diabetic patients reported higher levels of stress and depression, respectively, than controls. Diabetic patients showed decreased physical activity and sleep time, and increased smoking. Among diabetic patients, stress and depression are associated with unhealthy behavior changes during COVID-19. Measures to promote healthy lifestyles along with stress and depression management strategies must be implemented for the health care of diabetic patients during the pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
Definition of health cannot be oversimplified. Understanding about health status of individuals should not be solely based on physiologic parameters examined in the resting state and comparing individual-specific health data with any established/obsolete statistical average because this approach could mislead people to anticipate better health without essential lifestyle interventions and modifications. Are we health-educating unhealthy people to curb their disease by adapting the lifestyle of healthy people? A healthy person could be abstaining from toxic substances, exercising regularly, consuming nutritious foods, sleeping adequately, reproducing naturally, excelling in sports, practicing spirituality, resisting disease developments/progressions, falling sick rarely every year, recuperating much faster even falls sick, ageing at slower pace and living longer. There is no miraculous medicine or therapy that could afford complete cure from the diseases unless unhealthy individuals incline to learn and adapt a healthy lifestyle. Unhealthy individuals, in this context, are those who have knowingly sabotaged their health despite being aware of the hazards of sedentariness, unstructured lifestyle, malnourishment, stress and ingesting toxic substances. Unhealthy people should not assume that they would return to health and sustain better health without comparing themselves with the qualities of healthy individuals. For instance, low back aches of people who cannot even activate their Erector Spinae to bend forward correctly are not the same as people who can bend forward correctly activating strong Erector Spinae while exercising with barbell or dumbbell. Of course, it may not be entirely possible to revitalize the chronically-diseased individuals but at least some of the health guidelines formulated on the basis of lifestyle of healthy individuals should be incorporated in the treatments and rehabilitations. The difference between healthy and unhealthy people is extremely vast which we have not yet acknowledged scientifically. Superior health-fitness excellence of healthy individuals is an expression of high epigenetic efficiency to favor Morbidity-Attenuated Life Years (MALYs). In contrast, Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) could be associated with different degrees of epigenetic inefficiency or epigenetic dysfunctions. MALYs belong to healthy persons and DALYs belong to unhealthy persons. DALYs are characterized by almost predictable disease/disability events but MALYs have been mysterious. The mysteries of MALYs can be solved by developing an exclusive health care model for healthy individuals and it would remain unsolved without the inclusion of Physiotherapists, Exercise Professionals and Dieticians. KEY WORDS: Epigenetics, Exercise Tolerance, Health, DALYs, Spiritual intelligence, Fitness, Functional status, Aging, Physical Activity, Lifestyle, Sedentary, Co-morbidities, Kinanthropometry, Salutogenesis.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the relations between family structure and students' health-related behaviors. Participants were 6,130 Greek students, ages 11 to 16 years. They responded to questionnaires based on the Planned Behavior model assessing attitudes, perceived behavioral control, intentions and behavior regarding healthy and unhealthy habits. Students who reported growing up with one or no parent reported more unhealthy lifestyle attitudes and behaviors (smoking, drug use, violence, exercise, nutrition) than students growing up with both parents. The findings suggest that family structure is related to students' healthy or unhealthy lifestyle, indicating that in health education programs all members of the close environment within which the children live should be involved, especially for children who do not live with both parents.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the perceived causes of lifestyle and weight changes among first-generation East/Southeast Asians and Hispanics after resettlement in Canada.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews with study participants (n=100) and local health professionals (n=6) were conducted. Prominent response themes were identified through a content analysis.FindingsThe most common theme was the exposure to an obesogenic environment, such as the more pervasive diffusion of unhealthy food options. Hispanic participants were more likely to report the acquisition of unhealthy food practices and struggled more to maintain their traditional food habits. Time constraints, mostly due to working long hours, were the second most common theme, as participants had little time for making healthier lifestyle choices. The cold weather was considered as a contributor to obesity-leading behaviors and mood disorders. Hispanic respondents were more likely to describe settlement-induced psychological stressors and often compensated feelings of depression and isolation by eating emotionally and increasing the consumption of comfort foods. Weight increases were more likely within the first five years of arrival.Practical implicationsPreventive efforts should include social integration strategies to counter depression, and provide recommendations on feeding times and sleeping habits. Interventions should pay particular attention to Hispanics and recent newcomers.Originality/valueThis study enhanced the understanding of the causes of obesity disparities in Canada by suggesting that the higher prevalence of overweight and obesity among Hispanics may be due to their particular risk of unhealthy dietary and mental health transitions.
