Abstract

Highlights • The association between lifestyle factors and risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation is unknown.• Poorer lifestyle habit and elevated C-reactive protein was associated with greater risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation.• Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours in combination accounted for up to 51% of the population attributable fraction of severe COVID-19.• Low grade inflammation may be an important mechanism.• Adopting simple lifestyle changes could lower the risk of severe COVID-19 infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
