Does adherence to a healthy lifestyle reduce the risk of obesity-related diseases in adults in the UK?
While a healthy lifestyle is beneficial, it does not entirely offset the health risks associated with obesity.
Supports lifestyle advice in obesity but does not offset risks; leaves open causality and intervention effects.
In this large cohort study, adherence to a healthy lifestyle was associated with reduced risk of a wide range of obesity-related diseases, but this association was modest in adults with obesity.
