Reducing All-Cause Mortality

Ok, this study was about MEN. This is not unusual, studies routinely focus on men because of the ease of working with a population that has no change in hormones through the month (this throws off study results.  Sorry, medicine is mean, sometimes) Despite the results of this study referring to MEN, I think I can be confident that they apply to women as well.
Certain health factors have a significant impact in the risk of “all-cause mortality” in men: (1) normal weight, (2) not smoking, (3) consuming a moderate alcohol intake, (4) being physically active, and (5) having a higher cardiorespiratory fitness. Compared to men with none of these health factors, the more of these health factors a man has, the lower his risk of all-cause mortality:
1 health factor = 22% reduction in risk of all-cause mortality
2 health factors = 39% reduction in risk of all-cause mortality
3 health factors = 46% reduction in risk of all-cause mortality
4 health factors = 57% reduction in risk of all-cause mortality
All 5 health factors = 61% reduction in risk of all-cause mortality
