The findings are from a study that tracked nearly 5,000 British adults for 20 years, and they highlight yet another reason to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Overall, 314 people studied had all four unhealthy behaviors. Among them, 91 died during the study, or 29 percent. Among the 387 healthiest people with none of the four habits, only 32 died, or about 8 percent.
The risky behaviors were: smoking tobacco; downing more than three alcoholic drinks per day for men and more than two daily for women; getting less than two hours of physical activity per week; and eating fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily.
These habits combined substantially increased the risk of death and made people who engaged in them seem 12 years older than people in the healthiest group, said lead researcher Elisabeth Kvaavik of the University of Oslo.
The study appears in Monday's Archives of Internal Medicine.
The healthiest group included never-smokers and those who had quit; teetotalers, women who had fewer than two drinks daily and men who had fewer than three; those who got at least two hours of physical activity weekly; and those who ate fruits and vegetables at least three times daily.
"You don't need to be extreme" to be in the healthy category, Kvaavik said. "These behaviors add up, so together it's quite good. It should be possible for most people to manage to do it."
For example, one carrot, one apple and a glass of orange juice would suffice for the fruit and vegetable cutoffs in the study, Kvaavik said, noting that the amounts are pretty modest and less strict than many guidelines.
The U.S. government generally recommends at least 4 cups of fruits or vegetables daily for adults, depending on age and activity level; and about 2 1/2 hours of exercise weekly.
Study participants were 4,886 British adults aged 18 and older, or 44 years old on average. They were randomly selected from participants in a separate nationwide British health survey. Study subjects were asked about various lifestyle habits only once, a potential limitation, but Kvaavik said those habits tend to be fairly stable in adulthood.
Death certificates were checked for the next 20 years. The most common causes of death included heart disease and cancer, both related to unhealthy lifestyles.
Kvaavik said her results are applicable to other westernized nations including the United States.
June Stevens, a University of North Carolina public health researcher, said the results are in line with previous studies that examined the combined effects of health-related habits on longevity.
The findings don't mean that everyone who maintains a healthy lifestyle will live longer than those who don't, but it will increase the odds, Stevens said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Selepas empat hari dimasukkan ke Unit Rawatan Rapi (ICU) Hospital Selayang (HS) kerana dijangkiti demam denggi berdarah, pelawak dan penyampai radio Era FM, Din Beramboi (gambar) disahkan meninggal dunia, tengah malam tadi.Adik iparnya, Shariffudin Che Man, 37, berkata Allahyarham menghembuskan nafas terakhir di sisi isteri dan tiga anaknya, Nil Aina Adibah, 17, Mior Syafiq, 12, dan Nir Ain, di hospital itu, kira-kira jam 12.30 tengah malam.
Turut berada di sisi Allahyarham ialah anggota keluarga terdekat dan tiga rakan artis, Azwan Ali, Zul Yahya dan Ifa Raziah.
Shariffudin berkata, jenazah Allahyarham dijadual dikebumikan di tanah perkuburan Islam Taman Ehsan, Kepong sebelum solat Jumaat hari ini.
Allahyarham atau nama sebenarnya, Mior Ahmad Fuad Mior Badri, 43, mengadu demam dan mendapatkan rawatan di pusat kesihatan berhampiran kediamannya di Rawang yang kemudian dirujuk ke Hospital Selayang.
Din Beramboi dikatakan mula demam sejak 23 Mac minggu lalu dan semakin kritikal sehingga tidak boleh bangun tetapi disebabkan tidak suka berjumpa doktor, pelawak itu hanya mendapatkan khidmat urut membuang angin.
Arwah hanya dibawa ke Hospital Selayang selepas keadaannya semakin kritikal Isnin lalu sebelum dimasukkan ke ICU.
Selain menjadi penyampai radio, Allahyarham juga pernah bergiat dalam bidang nyanyian, kartunis, pelakon dan pernah menjadi juri dalam rancangan program realiti Raja Lawak, baru-baru ini.
Allahyarham tercalon dalam top 5, Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian 2009 (ABPBH 2009) buat pertama kali yang akan diadakan Ahad ini bagi kategori penyampai radio lelaki popular, Harian Metro kelmarin melaporkan Pengarah HS, Dr Siti Zaleha Mohd Salleh, berkata Din Beramboi dibawa ke Jabatan Kecemasan Isnin lalu pada jam 3.27 petang dan dimasukkan ke ICU kerana menghidap denggi berdarah.
“Dia mengalami pendarahan dalaman dengan komplikasi kegagalan beberapa organ utama dan keadaannya sangat tenat serta kritikal,” katanya.
Sementara itu, isteri pelawak itu, Suhaini Che Man, dilaporkan berkata suaminya sempat berpesan untuk meluangkan lebih masa dengan keluarga selepas selesai ABPBH 2009.
Menurutnya, Din Beramboi memberitahunya, dia mendapat cuti 10 hari selepas ABPBH yang berlangsung pada 4 April ini.
“Dia berkata mahu meluangkan lebih masa bersama anak-anak dengan membawa mereka ke Genting Highlands,” katanya.
