abstract = {Numerous simple lifestyle scores have been developed for
specific non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This research
aimed to investigate and compare the associations of various
lifestyle scores with the incidence and mortality of NCDs.
In 76,399 participants from the UK Biobank, we investigated
the associations of 13 lifestyle scores with the incidence
and mortality of cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), type
2 diabetes (T2D), and a composite of these NCDs. Cox
proportional-hazards regression models were used to estimate
hazard ratios (HRs) for associations between lifestyle
scores and NCD outcomes. During a median follow-up time of
10.5 years, 12,214 incident NCD cases and 2250 NCD deaths
were documented. Higher lifestyle scores were generally
associated with a reduced risk of overall NCDs (HRs ranging
from 0.65 to 0.89) and NCD mortality (0.51-0.92). Cancer
(HRs ranging from 0.72 to 0.98) and CVD (0.55-0.87) risk
were less dependent on lifestyle behaviors than T2D
(0.18-0.74). Notably, the top three scores associated with
cancer outcomes included smoking as a component, and those
for T2D included body mass index (BMI). For overall NCD
outcomes, lifestyle scores including both smoking and BMI
showed the strongest associations. Healthy Lifestyle Score
and the Chronic Disease Risk Index were the overall
best-performing scores to predict NCD risk and mortality.
These findings suggest that the use of lifestyle scores
designed for a single disease group can be extended for
predicting multiple NCDs and mortality. Both smoking and BMI
should be included in lifestyle scores aiming to predict
overall NCD risk and mortality for future research and
recommendations.},
