By Bhavana KunkalikarJun 29 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in Metabolism, researchers investigate the correlation between a healthy lifestyle and Life's Essential 8 scores in new-onset severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease .
The American Heart Association created Life's Simple 7 in 2010, which offers patient-centered guidelines for CV health . LS7 consists of four health behaviors, including body mass index , physical activity, diet, and smoking, as well as three health factors, including blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure.
Variables for a healthy lifestyle were developed using six established risk factors, including BMI, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, sleep duration, physical activity, and dietary consumption. A standardized touchscreen questionnaire was used for the baseline assessment of the participants. Overall, lifestyle factors were classified as ideal, intermediate, or poor.
A healthy lifestyle reduces risk of NAFLD complications The current study involved 2,66,645 participants, including 133,223 women with an average age of 56.4 years and an average LE8 score was 65.8. Moreover, 22,541 study participants were considered as having low CVH, 217,513 with moderate CVH, and 26,591 with high CVH.
A significant association was observed between each lifestyle factor and the risk of developing severe NAFLD. For example, participants with an ideal smoking level, alcohol intake, BMI, diet, physical activity, and sleep duration were less likely to develop new-onset severe NAFLD as compared to those with a poor lifestyle.
