Prospective associations between stressful life course events and clusters of lifestyle behaviours
Our findings revealed an association between exposure to stressful life events and clustering of being physically inactive, low fruit and vegetable intake, poor sleep quality and smoking. Consequently, implementing health promotion strategies to target multiple lifestyle behaviours may be beneficial in reducing the cumulative impact of stress on health.
