Abstract

As populations age, extending healthspan, or years lived in good health, is a global priority. Most evidence on healthy lifestyle and prolonged healthspan comes from middle-aged or comorbid populations, leaving it unclear whether benefits apply to healthy older adults. This study evaluates whether combined lifestyle behaviors are associated with disability-free survival in community-dwelling older adults.
