Psychological well-being: An asset for healthy lifestyles in young adults and primordial prevention later in life
A high level of psychological well-being is associated with a reduced risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Lifestyle habits, typically established in early adulthood, could contribute to this association.
Our study focused on emotional vitality and positive mental health among 799 young adults from Quebec who participated in the NDIT study. Higher levels (versus lower) of these psychological well-being indicators were associated with a 45–89% greater likelihood of having a healthy lifestyle four years later, beyond demographic, cardiometabolic, and psychological factors.
These results suggest that these psychological well-being indicators may promote a healthy lifestyle and should be considered in primary prevention strategies for young adults.
