Life’s Simple Seven Healthy Habits is designed to help people improve their overall health and reduce their risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions.
These Seven Healthy Habits include:
1. Manage blood pressure: Keeping your blood pressure within a healthy range can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
2. Control cholesterol: High levels of cholesterol in the blood can increase your risk of heart disease.
3. Reduce blood sugar: High blood sugar levels can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions.
4. Get active: Regular physical activity can improve your overall health and reduce your risk of chronic conditions.
5. Eat better: A healthy diet can reduce your risk of chronic conditions and improve your overall health.
6. Lose weight: Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your risk of chronic conditions and improve your overall health.
7. Stop smoking: Quitting smoking can reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions.
By focusing on these Seven Healthy Habits, individuals can make positive lifestyle changes that can lead to better health outcomes and a lower risk of chronic conditions.
For each of the seven health factors, participants were given a score of zero for poor or intermediate health and one point for ideal health, for a total possible score of 7. The average score was 4.3 at the start of the study and 4.2 10 years later.
After adjusting for factors like age and education, researchers found that for every increase of one point in the score, a participant’s risk of dementia decreased by 6%.
“It can be empowering for people to know that by taking steps such as exercising for half an hour a day or keeping their blood pressure under control, they can reduce their risk of dementia,” Rist added.
A limitation of the study was that researchers were unable to look at how changes in factors such as quitting smoking influenced the risk of dementia later in life.
