Mediterranean Diet, Lifestyle Factors, and 10-Year Mortality in Elderly European Men and Women

Association of a healthy lifestyle with mortality in older people

“…We found no relationship between a healthy lifestyle on risk of overall cancer-related death, which is contrary to findings previously reported in the HALE study as well as among studies of younger cohorts [ 10 ]. Nonetheless, the HALE study was conducted via survey only and among a demographic born up to 40-years earlier than ASPREE participants.…”

“…We found no relationship between a healthy lifestyle on risk of overall cancer-related death, which is contrary to ndings previously reported in the HALE study as well as among studies of younger cohorts (11). Although, it is possible that the lack of a broader link with cancer re ects the very small percentage of current smokers in ASPREE.…”

Greater adherence to the Healthy Nordic Food Index is associated with lower all-cause mortality in a population-based sample from northern Germany

“…As opposed to HNFI, in our sample from northern Germany, the MMDS was not associated with all-cause mortality. This is in contrast to previously reported analyses in Western cohorts that showed reduced mortality risks with greater adherence to a MD score [ 7 – 13 , 21 , 22 , 37 , 41 – 44 ]. At that, reduced mortality hazards were even more pronounced in Mediterranean populations [ 16 ], whereas results from studies in Western non-Mediterranean regions sometimes yield conflicting results [ 14 , 15 ].…”
