Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, cardiovascular diseases and cancer have been the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Dietary habits and lifestyle represent the main modifiable determinants of health. In this sense, nutrition and lifestyle interventions such as physical activity or conductual therapies can play an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, diabetes, and some types of cancer.

This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled “Nutrition, Lifestyle, and All-Cause, Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer Mortality” is focused on the role that nutrition and lifestyle have on all-cause, cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of manuscripts, either describing original research or reviewing the scientific literature, focused on the relationship between dietary habits and/or lifestyles in mortality.

This study investigated the association between a healthy lifestyle with all-cause, cause-specific mortality, and cancer incidence among individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Healthy lifestyle scores were created based on MetS management guidelines, including never/quitting smoking, moderate drinking, good sleep, healthy diet, sufficient exercise, social support, and less sedentary behaviour. Weighted healthy lifestyle scores were further constructed and classified into three groups: unfavourable (lowest quintile), intermediate (quintiles 2–4), and favourable (highest quintile) lifestyles. We included 87,342 MetS participants from the UK Biobank. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression. During a median follow-up of 12.54 years, 6739 deaths were reported; during a median follow-up of 10.69 years, 10,802 new cancer cases were documented. We found a favourable lifestyle was inversely associated with all-cause mortality (HR: 0.57; 95%CI: 0.53–0.62), cause-specific mortality from respiratory disease, cancer, digestive disease, cardiovascular disease (HR < 1; p-trend < 0.001), and overall cancer incidence (HR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.79–0.90). Our results indicate that adherence to healthy lifestyles is associated with lower overall cancer incidence and all-cause mortality risk among MetS individuals. However, causality cannot be made due to the nature of observational studies. Full article
