Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for incident CVD by individual healthy lifestyle components* weighted to the WHI-OS non-smoking population

Weighted Percent in Subcohort Adjusted for age and race
HR (95% CI) P value
Optimal weight 58% 0.69 (0.60, 0.80) <0.001
Healthy diet 48% 0.86 (0.75, 0.98) 0.002
Recommended physical activity 34% 0.78 (0.67, 0.91) <0.001
Moderate alcohol 47% 0.83 (0.72, 0.95) <0.001

The healthy lifestyle components were defined as 1) non-smoker (all participants by inclusion criteria); 2) optimal weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 or WC in bottom 2 quintiles; 3) healthy diet: AHEI score in top 2 quintiles; 4) adequate physical activity: ≥ 2.5 hours of moderate intensity physical activity or ≥ 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity per week; and 5) Moderate alcohol: alcohol consumption greater than none, but <1 drink per day. The reference group for each component was all other participants.
