The BBC says:

Women could halve their risk of premature death by adopting a healthier lifestyle, research suggests.

By avoiding cigarettes, exercising regularly, eating healthily and keeping weight in check, 55% of early deaths from chronic diseases could be avoided.

Following all four lifestyle tips could cut 44% of cancer deaths and 72% of cardiovascular deaths, the study of nearly 80,000 nurses suggests.

Surprise, if you live the perfect (and perfectly boring) life, you might live longer. Unfortunately this study fails to say how much longer. It's just another in a long line of mostly irrelevant health studies which point out the totally obvious, in an attempt to browbeat ordinary people to live the way the academic middle class control freaks want them to live.
