Everyday habits that could raise your score

These figures come from studies that follow people over time, so they show a link, not proof. Similar habits overlap, so only the strongest in each group counts.

How to read the evidence

Every figure on this page is labelled one of two ways.

Observed
Drink 2 to 5 cups of coffee a day
In 498,134 UK adults, people drinking 2 to 5 cups a day had a 12% lower death rate than non-drinkers over 10 years.
Loftfield 2018, JAMA Intern Med
Trial
Treat high blood pressure
Lifetime risk from stroke 3.3% → 2.0%. Randomized trials.
Ettehad 2016
Mixed
Follow a low-carb diet
Getting under 40% of calories from carbs went with a 20% higher death rate in pooled cohorts; a global study instead linked high carb intake to more deaths.
Seidelmann 2018, Lancet Public Health
TrialPeople were assigned at random to do something or not. A difference between the groups shows cause.
ObservedResearchers followed people and compared them. People who drink coffee, play tennis or own a dog may also be wealthier, fitter or healthier to begin with, so a link does not prove the habit is the cause. Read observed figures as the most a habit could be worth.
