By Hugo Francisco de SouzaAug 23 2023Reviewed by Sophia Coveney In a recent study published in the journal BMC Public Health, researchers conducted a systematic review of the literature investigating the associations between lifestyle, health behaviors, and health outcomes.
Additionally, evidence suggests that health behaviors have synergistic effects more significant than the sum of each behavior in isolation, especially in depression and anxiety risk, psychological distress, and weight changes. Reviewers employed this search strategy on three online databases, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, from databased initiation until July 2022. Inclusion criteria were age , study methodology , and publication language .
Bias assessment was conducted using recommendations from the Cochrane Handbook for observational studies. Every included study was assessed for bias risk in the following domains:“ selection bias, performance bias, detection bias, attrition bias, selective reporting bias, and other factors that may increase the risk of bias.”
“Risk of bias was conducted for all included studies. For both study types, between 5 and 30% had a high-risk judgment across all domains, while low-risk judgment varied between ~50–90%. Some of the domains had an unclear judgment due to lack of information ”
