Hypothesis
This study aimed to examine the associations between lifestyle factors and individual and comorbid cardiometabolic and pulmonary disease among U.S. adults.
Conclusion
Lifestyle factors were associated with increased odds of individual and comorbid cardiometabolic and pulmonary disease among adults.
Supporting Evidence
- Trouble sleeping was associated with increased odds of cardiometabolic disease and pulmonary disease.
- Physical activity was associated with lower odds of both diseases.
- Past 5-day tobacco use and past year alcohol use were linked to higher odds of pulmonary disease.
Takeaway
This study found that things like not sleeping well, poor diet, and using tobacco or alcohol can make people more likely to have heart and lung diseases.
Methodology
The study used cross-sectional data from the 2017–2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) with a sample size of 7394 adults.
Potential Biases
Self-reported responses on lifestyle factors and health conditions may introduce recall and response bias.
Limitations
The study's cross-sectional design limits the ability to determine causality, and self-reported data may be subject to bias.
Participant Demographics
Participants included adults aged 20 and older, with a mean age of 33.7 years, 50.4% female, and diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds.
