Study reveals unhealthy lifestyle only explains small part of health inequity in UK, US adults ANI | Updated: Apr 15, 2021 08:08 IST
London [UK], April 15 (ANI): Unhealthy lifestyles alone only explain a small proportion of the socioeconomic inequity in health in both US and UK adults, suggest data from two large studies published by The BMJ today.
The findings show that the poorest individuals with the least healthy lifestyle are 2.7 to 3.5 times more at risk of death than the most affluent people with the healthiest lifestyle.
While healthy lifestyles play an important role in reducing disease burden, the researchers warn that healthy lifestyle promotion alone might not substantially reduce the socioeconomic inequity in health, and other measures tackling social determinants of health are warranted.
