4 υγιεινές συνήθειες αυξάνουν το προσδόκιμο ζωής κατά 14 έτη.

Το να μην καπνίζουμε, το να κινούμαστε κάπως, να μην υπερβάλλουμε στο αλκοόλ και να τρώμε φρούτα.

A health behavior score of between 0 and 4 was calculated for each participant by giving one point for each of the following healthy behaviors: current non-smoking, not physically inactive (physical inactivity was defined as having a sedentary job and doing no recreational exercise), moderate alcohol intake (1–14 units a week; a unit of alcohol is half a pint of beer, a glass of wine, or a shot of spirit), and a blood vitamin C level consistent with a fruit and vegetable intake of at least five servings a day

a person with a health score of 0 has the same risk of dying as a person with a health score of 4 who is 14 years older
