This book offers a comprehensive overview on lifestyle habits related to development of risk factors of chronic diseases. It provides a summary of the impacts of various modifiable factors that influence long-term health status. The accumulation of unhealthy lifestyle habits shows that over the life course, increasing the number, duration, and severity of unhealthy behaviors would increase the risk of disease development. This contributed volume highlights the fact that establishing a healthy lifestyle is easier and more effective than focusing on lifestyle change
