Recent research has revealed that one in 50 people aged 16 and over in England faces a heightened risk of early death due to a combination of smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and obesity. Approximately 1 million individuals are affected, showing that these three risk factors can lead to diseases such as cancer and diabetes, potentially cutting life expectancy by up to 20 years. A significant portion of the population displays at least one risk factor, illustrating the widespread nature of this health crisis.
It is staggering that as many as one in 50 adults in England are at a much higher risk of dying because of the combination of tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food.
When these risk factors are combined, the danger to people's health is even greater, leading to higher chances of early death and more years in poor health.
