Major health-related behaviours and mental well-being in the general population: the Health Survey for England
Open accessAbstract
Background: Major behavioural risk factors are known to adversely affect health outcomes and be strongly associated with mental illness. However, little is known about the association of these risk factors with mental well-being in the general population. We sought to examine behavioural correlates of high and low mental well-being in the Health Survey for England. Methods: Participants were 13 983 adults, aged 16 years and older (56% females), with valid responses for the combined 2010 and 2011 surveys. Mental well-being was assessed using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). ORs of low and high mental well-being, compared to the middle-range category, were estimated for body mass index (BMI), smoking, drinking habits, and fruit and vegetable intake. Results: ORs for low mental well-being were increased in obese individuals (up to 1.72, 95% CI 1.26 to 2.36 in BMI 40+ kg/m 2). They increased in a linear fashion with increasing smoking (up to 1.98, 95% CI 1.55 to 2.53, >20 cigarettes/day) and with decreasing fruit and vegetable intake (up to 1.53, 95% CI 1.24 to 1.90, <1 portion/day); whereas ORs were reduced for sensible alcohol intake (0.78, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.91, ≤4 units/day in men, ≤3 units/day in women). ORs for high mental well-being were not correlated with categories of BMI or alcohol intake. ORs were reduced among ex-smokers (0.81, 95% CI 0.71 to 0.92), as well as with lower fruit and vegetable intake (up to 0.79, 95% CI 0.68 to 0.92, 1 to <3 portions/day). Conclusions: Along with smoking, fruit and vegetable consumption was the health-related behaviour most consistently associated with mental well-being in both sexes. Alcohol intake and obesity were associated with low, but not high mental well-being.

TL;DR
In a nationally representative sample of 13,983 English adults from the 2010/2011 Health Survey for England, smoking and fruit and vegetable intake were the behaviours most consistently associated with both low and high mental well-being. Obesity and alcohol intake were associated with low, but not high, mental well-being.
Key findings
- Low mental well-being was more likely in obese individuals: fully adjusted OR 1.24 (95% CI 1.04 to 1.43) for BMI 30–<40 kg/m² and 1.72 (95% CI 1.26 to 2.36) for BMI 40+ kg/m².
- Low mental well-being increased linearly with smoking, up to OR 1.98 (95% CI 1.55 to 2.53) for >20 cigarettes/day, and with decreasing fruit and vegetable intake, up to OR 1.53 (95% CI 1.24 to 1.90) for <1 portion/day; sensible alcohol intake was associated with reduced odds (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.91).
- High mental well-being was not associated with BMI or alcohol categories, but odds were reduced among ex-smokers (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.71 to 0.92) and with lower fruit and vegetable intake (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.68 to 0.92 for 1 to <3 portions/day; OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.96 for 3 to <5 portions/day).
Methods
- Cross-sectional analysis of the combined 2010 and 2011 Health Survey for England, including 13,983 adults aged 16 years and older (56% females) with valid Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) responses.
- WEMWBS scores defined low (14–42), middle-range (43–59), and high (60–70) mental well-being groups; logistic regression estimated ORs of low and high mental well-being compared with the middle-range category.
- Models were unadjusted, partially adjusted for age and sex, and fully adjusted for sociodemographic variables plus BMI, smoking, alcohol drinking, and fruit and vegetable consumption.
Limitations
- The paper states that physical activity was not included because data were not collected in the 2010 and 2011 surveys, and that fruit and vegetable intake may act as a marker for other healthy lifestyles including physical activity.
- The paper states that the cross-sectional design cannot establish causality or temporality of the observed relationships.
- The paper states that the 66.0% participation rate, the percentage of WEMWBS complete responders, and the sample being from a developed western country may reduce generalisability to other populations and socioeconomic settings.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
