Supports combined higher physical activity and diet quality for lowest mortality risks; extends observational data but leaves causality and practice change open.
Do higher levels of physical activity and better diet quality reduce all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality in UK Biobank participants?
Adhering to both a high-quality diet and sufficient physical activity is associated with optimally reduced risks of all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.
