Intro: Four simple lifestyle measures - not taking up smoking, keeping slim, eating a healthy diet and regular exercise - together reduce the risk of deadly chronic diseases by up to 78%, a study has shown.
Researchers based the finding on results from a major public health investigation involving more than 23,500 adults aged 35 to 65.
They concluded the three chronic conditions that claim the most lives, heart disease, cancer and diabetes, can largely be prevented by healthy living.
Participants answered questions about diet, smoking, exercise, weight and height, social background and state of health. . . .
The research, from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, appears today in the journal Archives Of Internal Medicine.
