Key result
4 to 5 high-risk lifestyle factors linked to ~154% higher cardiometabolic multimorbidity odds in men.
Why the study?
Modifiable lifestyle factors are considered key to the control of cardiometabolic diseases, but the association between multiple lifestyle factors and cardiometabolic multimorbidity required exploration.
Do healthy composite lifestyle factors prevent cardiometabolic multimorbidity in adults over 45 years old?

The accumulation of high-risk lifestyle factors, including specific dietary behaviors and taste preferences, is significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity, with notable gender differences.

High-risk lifestyle accumulation was associated with elevated cardiometabolic multimorbidity odds in men; leaves open causality and requires prospective validation.
Zheng et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (n=14,968). High-risk lifestyle factors (4-5 factors) vs. Zero high-risk lifestyle factors was evaluated on Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.60-4.04, p=<0.001). Men with 4 to 5 high-risk lifestyle factors had an OR of 2.54 for developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity compared to males with zero high-risk lifestyle factors.
