Healthy lifestyle profile was defined as having 4 to 5 of the following healthy lifestyle factors: Mediterranean Diet Score ≥5, ≥3.5 hours per week spent on moderate‐to‐vigorous intensity physical activities, not currently smoking, moderate alcohol consumption, and a BMI lower than 30 kg/m2. Participants with a moderately healthy lifestyle profile adhered to 2 to 3 healthy lifestyle factors and participants with an unhealthy lifestyle profile to one or less factors.
Represents the average number of participants of the 20 imputed data sets. The categories do not add up to 5263 because of rounding.
