| Abstract | Background Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, including unhealthy alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, smoking, and nonadherence to dietary recommendations, are major contributors to non-communicable diseases and mortality. While adopting healthy behaviours can reduce these risks in middle-aged adults, research is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the distribution of unhealthy lifestyle behaviours in middle-aged adults and their associations with socioeconomic factors, social support, and history of disease. Method This was a cross-sectional study of the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) cohort (2013–2018) at six Swedish university hospitals. Multilevel regression models were estimated using Bayesian inference with priors shrinking covariate estimates towards the null. Results In total, 59 909 participants, aged 50–64 years old were invited to SCAPIS, of which 30 154 (50.3%) decided to participate. The mean age of participants was 58 (SD = 4) years old, and 51% were women (n = 15 508). Men had higher unhealthy alcohol consumption and were less adherent to dietary recommendations compared to women. Older participants were more physically inactive compared to younger participants. Low education and financial difficulties were associated with smoking, physical inactivity, and poor diet adherence. Financial difficulties were also associated with unhealthy alcohol consumption. Having more people to turn to in difficulties was associated with lower alcohol consumption. Lack of appreciation and comfort support was associated with smoking and poor diet adherence. Diabetes was associated with lower alcohol consumption. Diabetes and lung diseases were associated with smoking and inactivity. Conclusions Middle-aged adults with lower socioeconomic status, less quality social support, and a history of disease were more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviours. This study helps to identify groups of middle-aged adults who may require additional attention when it comes to prioritizing the development of preventive measures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
