Lifestyle Factors Cut Risk of Post-Acute Sequelae, Hospitalization & Death post C-19
Many experts have said the COVID-19 pandemic was an opportunity to improve personal health in order to better survive SARS-CoV-2 and its outcomes. But is that actually the case?
Wang et al, from the Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK, studied health behaviours organized into groups in the UK Biobank Project (n = 68,896) March 1, 2020 to March 1 2022:
“A favorable lifestyle (6-10 healthy factors; 46.4%) was associated with a 36% lower risk of multisystem sequelae (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.58-0.69; ARR at 210 days, 7.08%; 95% CI, 5.98-8.09) compared to an unfavorable lifestyle (0-4 factors; 12.3%).
Risk reductions spanned all 10 organ systems, including cardiovascular, coagulation, metabolic, gastrointestinal, kidney, mental health, musculoskeletal, respiratory disorders, and fatigue.
This beneficial effect was largely attributable to direct lifestyle impacts independent of corresponding pre-infection comorbidities (71% for any sequelae). A favorable lifestyle was also related to the risk of post-COVID death (HR 0.59, 0.52-0.66) and hospitalization (HR 0.78, 0.73-0.84).”
The optimal lifestyle in their data would be: less than 4 alcoholic drinks per week, nonsmoker, not obese, > 150 minutes per week exercise, < 4 hours TV per day, 7-9 hours of sleep nightly, > 400 g/day fruits/vegetables, > 1 fish meal/week, <3 red meat meals/week, < 1 process meat meal (hamburger) per week.
In this study, full vaccination was associated with reduced risk of sequelae, hospitalization, and death, and the authors were wise not to draw any conclusions about vaccination.
There was no accounting for if the vaccines were taken before or after COVID-19 or any of the outcomes, if the vaccines were up to date (<6 months), milder COVID-19 strains, natural immunity.
Early treatment for COVID-19, and there was no indication if vaccine side effects were a cause of hospitalization and death. Take a look at the data and see how you match up on health behaviours!

Hi Peter, I recognize that you were one of the true honest voices during the recent pandemic, and were one of the few voices critical of the measures. Now you apparently want to take over some other mainstream media talking points on red meat etc. Does it ever occur to you that mainstream media has been lying on this as well? My close friend’s mother lived to 103, and drank 2 glasses of herbal liquor every day, smeared animal drippings (grease) on her bread in stead of margarine or even butter, as an old-school catholic ate fish on Friday, only played bridge as a sport, and slept around 4 hours a night. If you plug that into your model, does the death age compute to 103? It’s high time doctors admit that they have been lying to us – not only on Covid-19 – but also on all the “scientific” advice on coffee, meat, fish, bread, alcohol, drugs, quinoa, etc. Your profession is in a shambles. Aim higher so I can have at least one voice I can trust.

Hi Koen,
I have stated it before and do again until one person seems to understand the physical principles of the physical sciences cannot be applied to the life sciences simply because very, very. few humans (and other animals) have identical finger prints or DNA molecules.
Have a good day
