Description
Linda Ng Fat, Robert West, and Sarah E Jackson authored a 2026 cross-sectional study on healthy habits and life satisfaction in England. They used the Health Survey for England from 2017 and 2018. The sample held 6978 adults aged 35 to 64, and life satisfaction was scored from 0 to 10.
Models compared people who met guidance on smoking, alcohol, activity, and fruit and vegetable intake with those who did not. Eating five or more portions a day, having quit smoking, and being highly active each linked to higher odds of scoring 7 or more. Gains added up when people met several habits at once. Meeting all three habits tied to the largest rise, which suggests broad lifestyle support could lift well-being at population scale.
