[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 105896, member: 2624"] Americans have a shorter life expectancy when compared to residents of almost all other high-income countries. Using data from the Nurses' Health Study (1980-2014) five low-risk life style factors were identified: [B]never smoking, body mass index of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m(2), at least 30 minutes of daily moderate physical activity, moderate alcohol intake, and a high diet quality score. [/B]During the 34 years of follow-up, it was determined that the life expectancy at age 50 was 29.0 years for women and 25.5 year for men who adopted NO low-risk lifestyle factors. In contrast, for those adopting all five low-risk lifestyle factors, a life expectancy at age 50 of 43.1 years for women and 37.6 years for men.
