Abstract in brief

  • This study examines how various unhealthy lifestyle factors—such as high BMI, alcohol intake, living alone, and short sleep—are linked to reductions in gray matter volume (GMV) in the brain, based on MRI scans of 142 healthy Japanese adults.
  • The research finds that these factors individually have a negative impact on brain health, but when combined, their overall effect on gray matter volume is slightly amplified, though smoking and lack of exercise were not significantly connected.
  • The findings suggest that practicing multiple unhealthy behaviors simultaneously may be more damaging to brain health than engaging in just one, highlighting the importance of maintaining healthier lifestyle choices for brain health.]
