Main results At 10 years, Mediterranean diet, moderate alcohol intake, physical activity and not smoking were associated with lower all cause mortality, coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer in elderly European people (see results table). The combined effects of all four low risk diet and lifestyle factors significantly lowered all cause mortality rate (HR 0.4; 95%CI 0.3 to 0.5).
