About 5.12% of the elderly had none of the above risk factors；24.25% had one risk factor；38.75% had two risk factors，with a clustering of no exercise and overweight/obesity as the most common pattern；31.88% had three to five risk factors，with a clustering of no exercise，overweight/obesity，sedentary time more than three hours a day and/or drinking as the most common pattern.
